Private money I assume but are you suggesting that the EU gives 'grants' to it's cheerleaders? Appalling!

Well, that is what you was insinuating with use of the marks. I was just trying to draw it out from you!

Since you evidently have not checked I can confirm for you that "Europeforall.com was developed, with the support of the European Commission, by the pan-European partnership, OSSATE, which stands for "One-Stop-Shop for Accessible Tourism in Europe"."

Among other rubbish it clearly states that OSSATE (project); "The project is co-funded by the European Commission “eContent” programme." Yes we are paying for this!

See: http://www.europeforall.com/about.se...rsationId=4252 for other madness on 'Photo and Measurement Guides' which Hotels etc are asked/required to use to join some unknown proposed Hotel Guide presumably. Of course this is being done and lunatic posters commissioned (I wonder how much it cost?) while Greeks starve. So good to live off the taxpayers... Happy Days!

I have a better giggle for everyone - the Directive on the Cornish Pasty specifies that it should be crimped ONLY on the side, but many traditional recipes are crimped on the top, and they use the harder rye pastry rather than wheat pastry common to the modern pasty.

According to the EU - a traditional Cornish Pasty is not a Cornish Pasty.

But the joke is on your Cornish pastry makers, because those directives are merely about protectionism for local specialities and they are not drawn up by Brussels on its own: they are submitted/requested by trade organisations. So the purveyors of traditional Cornish pastry have effectively disallowed themselves from marketing their perfectly traditional foods as such ...

This is not lost on me - but neither is the fact that the EU didn't tell them to take a hike. Someone in Brussels enjoys drawing these things up and enacting them.
