Terry Egan passes this along to me; lunacy from the European Union:
The Adam Smith Institute has denounced the latest batch of EU regulations as yet another example of economic illiteracy. It singles out the new requirement, imposed by EU Safety Commissioner Senator Fapirollo, that the maximum length of knife blades permitted within the EU after 1 January 2004 will be 10cm (approx 4 inches).
Even Stalin and Hitler hadn't thought of that little gem of legislation.
