The EU banana interview

From a banana regulation to a new vision for Europe.

Question. Is there an EU regulation on the size and form of bananas?
Answer:
Yes, there is indeed an EU regulation concerning the size and form of bananas, though it is often the subject of significant exaggeration and “Euro-myths.” The current rules are primarily found in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1333/2011, which updated and replaced the original (and more famous) 1994 regulation.
However, there is a gap between the myth and the reality.

The rest of the interview is worth reading, and no it’s not only about bananas. It’s brings us back to the roots of the EU, i.e. the Schuman declaration of 1950 and how it enables a new vision for Europe.
