No. The EU has a directive on keeping nitrates out of the water supply (for health reasons and to prevent algae blocking drainage). The EU rules - decided by elected ministers and MEPs - don’t stipulate how national governments implement these rules. In Bavaria they had a problem with high levels of nitrate in the water - not good for a region famed for its beer - the Bavarian State Government was particularly concerned about the amount of fertiliser being used on Alpine slopes and so introduced a poorly worded ban - which a local farmer interpreted as a ban on cow pats. To get round what he though was a ban on cow pats he wrapped the back-ends of his cows in sheets. The moronic elements of the British press then flocked to Bavaria to get pictures for their ‘EU going to fit nappies to cows’ stories to sell in their moronic papers to their oafish readership. Hence your confusion. 

they are still looking into it.....

as for "The EU rules - decided by elected ministers and MEPs"  unelected bureaucrats decide the rules, mep only get a yes no vote.....

Filthy habit.

 

When I were a lad and coal fires were everywhere, seagulls would sit on smoking chimneys to help with parasites. Wood ash is strongly alkaline and in the old days people would clean their pots and pans with it. Potash, that's how it got its name. It was also used as an ant-acid remedy. Maybe that Elephant had indigestion (sic), in lean times they have to adapt their diets and eat stuff they wouldn't normally. They know a thing or two those elephants, probably learned over a long life-span. They never forget, apparently...

Anorak off.

I always wondered where potash got its name!
