Probably.

The EU doesn't give anyone else anything of value unless bestowing something upon themselves.

Their copyright laws are going to screw up everything Internet in Europe.

Migration. Diversity.

As for the EU wasting food here is info on countries in the EU that are doing something about it

Denmark: Denmark is a pioneer in joining the fight against food waste. In 2016, the Danish minister for food, Esben Lunde Larsen, launched a subsidy scheme to combat the issue. This scheme distributed almost USD 750,000 to projects trying to tackle waste throughout the food chain.
This was a significant commitment, but the initiative wasn't the first drive to reduce food waste. The ministry had already conducted campaigns to educate consumers about best-before and use-by labels. In Denmark, it is legal to sell date-expired food so long as it is clearly labelled and shows no sign of health risk. Mr Larsen has also supported collaboration between food producers and kitchens to ensure that “wonky vegetables”, which would otherwise be rejected, are used.

France: Food waste is a costly issue in France. Each year 10 million tons of food are either lost or wasted in the country, costing the French 16 billion euros per year. The negative impact on the environment is also shocking. Food waste in France is responsible for the emission of 15.3 million tons of CO2, 3% of the country’s total CO2 emissions.
Although these figures are concerning, the French government is determined to drive change. In the past five years it has created new laws and regulations to encourage food waste reduction. In 2012, it launched a new law forcing the private sector to recycle their organic waste if they produce more than 120 tons of it per year. This regulation has since been developed further. Recycling is now mandatory for all businesses, including those in the hospitality and foodservice industry, that produce at least ten tonnes of organic waste per year.
In 2016, France became the first country to ban supermarkets from throwing away unsold food. Large supermarkets are no longer even allowed to throw away good quality food approaching its “best-before” date. Instead, they are forced to donate surplus food to charities and food banks.

Italy: It is estimated that Italy wastes about 5.1m tonnes of food a year. Six months after the French law banning supermarkets from throwing away edible food was passed, the country launched a similar regulation. Unlike the French law, which penalises supermarkets that fail to comply with the rules, the Italian law focused on making it easier for companies to donate unsold food. The initiative should help Italy recover one million tonnes of food a year.
The law has essentially relaxed regulations that had made it difficult to donate. It has clarified, for example, that food can be donated even if it is past its sell-by date. Costa Cruises – the Italian cruise line that is part of Carnival Corporation & plc, the world’s largest cruise company - has taken advantage of this law. The cruise line is now working with Winnow to prevent food waste while donating excess meals to those in need.
Costa has cemented its role as a leading company in the sustainability field. It became the first cruise line to make a public food waste reduction target, committing to halving food waste by 2020 as part of its “4GOODFOOD” program.

Very little , very late . As good as these schemes are , and im all for them , they only cover food outlet waste .
For as i long as i can remember , since joining the then Common Market , farmers have received subsidies from the E u to basically plough there produce back into the ground , or if harvested , can only be used as livestock feed .
This is where the real waste problem lies . Bad planning of the common agricultural policies .
Im sure there must be many that remember the milk lake or the butter mountains .
Farmers getting the going rate at the time from Europe to poor their milk down the drain . Thats just obscene to me , and no manner of laws banning supermarkets doing this and that is going to stop this over production madness .
And whats with these ridiculously short sell by dates they insist on using on packaged foods .

Yes, anytime big government gets involved in free markets, they pick winners and losers with other people's money, and then ruin the free market.

irrelevant as it not stopped one migrant, they simply went to germany got a passport and moved to hungry.But good idea ,every state in America could put up a wall between themselves ..brilliant idea

The Guardian reporting the truth.... for once!

3500 jobs lost @ Honda = media frenzy
8500 jobs gained @ Tilbury Docks = media silence

Makes you think the media might have an agenda

I suppose those jobs are only going to return with increased automation. First world robots displacing third world workers.

Ya think the media has an agenda? 555

Agree. Of course they do.

Wow, the media having a hidden agenda. ''wash your mouth out'' . Some of us have realised this for years.
It still amazes me to think, whilst on the topic of MSM, that some people still regard the BBC as a credible news provider.

Agendas seem to be flying all over the place.

The linked story above from the Guardian is over 8 months old, and refers to the loss of skilled, manufacturing jobs.

The likely job losses at Honda (announced 4 days ago) are of the same variety.

The potential new jobs at Tilbury (announced 3 days ago) are mainly, I presume, in the unskilled category, and will be over the next 10-15 years.

This has been reported at the BBC - can't get much more MSM than that.

The group added it believed jobs would increase from 3,500 to 12,000 in the next 10 to 15 years.

Objectors to the new port have six weeks to file a claim for a judicial review of the government's decision.

Honda factory was running @50% capacity only anyway. the plan to move production back to japan has more to do with saving money. absolutely nothing to do with the EU, just meant Honda can't sell enough cars .
MSM is just full of BS, now even other forms of media have slipped into propaganda machines. Don't think so ? well look at this forum with the Trump fake news daily editor. Funny thing is I like RT news, don't believe half of what they say but at least it's entertaining.
