EU FAKE PARLIAMENT IN MIDDLE OF MUSLIM SETTLER CRISIS PASSES LAW REGULATING…….. CANDLES

How did we ever manage to live for centuries without these geniuses?

EU candle burning at both ends

It’s yet another reason for jettisoning this bureaucratic, despotic, liberty crushing institution. Any time you hear of new regulations, the first thought that should come to your mind is what crony business benefits from this. There was no public mass movement that I can recall demanding more regulations on candle safety, so you can bet your bottom euro that lobbyists for big (crony) business were successful in getting this pushed through at the expense of their competition.

NEW EU Regulations Dictate Height, Stability, And Support Structures Acceptable For… Candles

The European Union’s (EU) member states have voted to enter the essential business of candle regulation, just in time for the Christmas tradition of lighting Advent Candles. The new EU regulations dictate safety standards controlling the height, stability, and acceptable support structures for candles. 

A four page document sets out the new rules “to be met by European standards for candles, candle supports, containers and accessories pursuant to Directive 2001/95/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on general product safety.”

Essential rules without which the continent could not function include:

  • “The safety of the product shall not rely on complicated user procedures”
  • “Free-standing candles or candles supplied with a holder or container shall remain stable (e.g. not tip over) during burning”
  • “Materials used in or on candles and candle supports, containers and accessories shall not spread or create a secondary flame at any stage during the normal burning of a candle or during its final extinction”
  • “The presentation and illustration of the product as well as any information provided shall not play down risks to any potential user”

Specifically, what looks to be regulation targeted at Advent Candles, or indeed the Jewish menorah, the document dictates common sense policies such as:

  • ‘Never leave a burning candle unattended.’
  • ‘Burn candle out of the reach of children and pets.’
  • ‘Do not burn candles on or near anything that can catch fire.’

Described as “new Brussels madness just before Christmas” by German website Focus, and illustrated with the headline, “Fire is a Fire Hazard” by one local paper – eurosceptics will finally be able to move on from deriding cucumber length and apple size regulation. Get ready to hear all about the specific safety requirements for candles during the British referendum on European Union membership.
