Just catching up after an illuminating couple of days in Ireland, I saw this and thought you might be amused.
Isn't that marvellous? The EU has imposed a regulation on all 28 member states which describes a solid inanimate object as containing nicotine when it plainly doesn't. The regulation is so ridiculous that simply by applying it the manufacturer is contravening legislation designed to protect the public from misleading information.
The MHRA then suggests that a way round this is to add qualifying text which corrects the regulation which is contravening legislation designed to protect the public.
But ... this text then contravenes the original EU regulation because it illegally modifies the EU's original demand.
However, that's OK because the MHRA won't enforce it, probably because it would make them complicit in contravening the EU TPD.
I know it's a hackneyed phrase, but you really couldn't make this kind of absurd EU incompetence up, could you? Can we leave yet?
