Tim Worstall: This is Protectionism.
As reform of CAP begins to creak slowly into view as it becomes increasingly obvious to everybody that it is an unsustainable waste that is crippling the third world and harming small farmersThe EU has found a new wease to stop the competition that could lead to lower food prices, and better prospects for the reduction of third world poverty. So they are going to cripple small european food retailers, and charities fund raisers in order to protect the large food businesses that should be able to compete? Yep sounds like a Euroland policy. At least this time they cannot use the, false, excuse that they are trying to help the small farmers (CAP didn't it helped the large ones at the expense of the small but this is still the excuse they used for it's existance).
