I REFER to Roger Tucker’s latest anti-EU nonsense (ViewPoints, October 11) which concerned the reuse of glass jam jars for items sold for charity including the WI.
The EU regulation referred to dates back to 2004 (REGULATION (EC) No. 1935/2004).
Why it’s suddenly a matter of concern is anyone’s guess.
However, in any case it doesn’t refer to glass which is of course inert, unlike reusing plastic or paper food wrapping.
Common sense should have told Mr Tucker that, if it’s illegal to reuse glass, then he would have to have a new glass every time he orders a lemonade in a pub.
