The problem is that it generated significant costs for companies to implement this shit. It also creates tradebarriers with foreign entities. For example, swiss companies still have the normal caps, and they cant participate in the EU market if they dont change. Less competition is unhealthy.
Moreover, this whole story smells like corruption. I would not be surprised if some buddy of an EU parlamentarian earned alot with this utter bs.
I wouldn't be surprised if the eastern guy did actually influence that vote. I didn't do my research on the matter, but that's something I can absolutely believe.
significant costs for companies to implement this shit.
Which they had over 5 years to implement and amortize
Less competition is unhealthy.
As is a race to the bottom, which is why we have regulations, and this is one of them.
this whole story smells like corruption. I would not be surprised
Everything can be a conspiracy when you don't even bother to do a cursory search on a phenomenon's background and just let your fantasies run wild. von der Leyen can be a lizard person that came down from Jupiter to suck the blood of virgin horseshoe crabs. I would not be surprised
The guy is right in that "doing one's own research" is more important than ever. Before you know it, the Suiss are flooding the EU with illegal bottle caps.
It wouldn't be the first time that there's a bad actor infecting bottle caps with a virus grown in a secret lab in Wuhan, China, subsidized by the the Yankee dumocrats, Joe and Hunter Biden, Barak Hussein Obama and Anthony Fauci in particular lol.
The company BERICAP is one of the main beneficiaries of this regulation, and they are lobbying in the deutsche bundestag. They hold patents in process engineering for the bottle caps. I know lobbying is not called corruption in the EU, but srsly, give me a break.
Huh???!!! It might as well have been a conspirancy of the WEF and Soros to weaken EU-unity in favour of a Russian take-over of Middle and Western Europe!!!
