Would have been more useful for a breakdown/fact check on where the basis "myth" came from. Otherwise it's useless as you have no way of knowing what the reality is/was.
Also highlight which ones were written by Boris!

#22Here is the actual (archived) Euromyths website: https://wayback.archive-it.org/11980/20191004103218/https://...
It appears the EC has deleted it since debunking myths in the British press has become rather pointless post-brexit.

It’s misrepresented. The regulation unified laws across countries to enable trade. It actually cut down on laws by creating one to cover all countries. Countries already had their own differing laws on food standards before making trade difficult.

#24Am I missing something? There is a huge list, which are rebuked here or somewhere. But where exactly? edit: additionally, needs 2018 in the title?

It doesn't seem that weird to have a regulation for having the same classes of quality across the union. Not every banana sold has to fall into the "extra" class.

Except you could enable trade without banning curvy bananas.
All they had to do was standardize a rating system for bananas, and then countries could chose to ban whichever ratings they liked.
Its a clear system that allows and enables trade, while letting countries have their own regulation.
