> He has just become a packaging waste producer in four countries. This is the part which is confusing. If the EU was a real union, then this would not be a problem, the selling point would be it's a union, all countries are the same. It appears from the outside that the only united thing about the regulation is that there is a regulation, and then each country goes off and does its own thing. So why have an EU at all? Very strange.
