"Mr President, well, we are at it again. In my view, Mr Sacconi is not so much building a mountain as digging himself an enormous hole. May I say at this festive time that I hope he mixes his martinis as enthusiastically as he mixes his metaphors. Whatever he says, we are talking of the regulation of over 30 000 substances, policed by another army of self-important inspectors who already suck at the teat of the overtaxed and over-regulated taxpayer.
The extent of the regulation is bound to take the focus off relatively few instances where serious action is needed. Yet again, we British see in this directive the advancement of the abandonment of the presumption of innocence, with no redress for damages for British businesses, not to mention the horrific experimentation on millions of animals, whatever you may try and persuade yourself.
I certainly beg my British federalist colleagues, all of whom support this misguided legislation, for once to get up off their bellies and strike a blow for our own national civil law and against the sovietism of this place. We all know the effect of Russian sovietism on Russia’s own and the global environment."@en1
