What has the EU ever done for us?
by Geoff Abell on 9 February, 2016
Dirty beaches skirt EU rules
According to The Times, under new plans, dirty beaches will be “de-designated” as bathing waters, and will be exempt from EU rules requiring warning signs about raw sewage and farm pollution. From May, any official bathing beach which has been classed as “poor” for water quality will have to display signs telling people not to swim and explaining the problem. Seaside councils have complained that the signs will be bad for tourism and some have supported plans by Defra to de-designate their beaches.
Savings
Since 2008, if a bank folds, savers will get their money back, up to a maximum, currently £75,000.
That’s EU rules too, across the whole of the Union.
