god knows but that was the supposed reasoning

"The European Commissions justification for the ban, under special Common Agriculture Policy regulations, is "hygiene" and to protect the "image of olive oil" with a measure that will benefit struggling industrial producers in Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal. "

My point was just that it does make a certain amount of sense for a supra-national body to concern itself wih low level issues if there is a wider purpose to it.
