The EU & Light Bulbs

Official responsible for light bulb ban is a former communist

The man responsible for the Europe-wide ban on traditional light bulbs can be revealed as a former Soviet Communist party member from Latvia.

Andris Piebalgs, 51, the European Commissioner for Energy, leads the team which drafted the controversial regulations that will see all incandescent bulbs phased out by 2012.

Mr Piebalgs was a Communist party member in the 1980s, when he worked as a headteacher in what was then part of the USSR.

He went on to become a government minster in newly-independent Latvia, then a diplomat, before being appointed to the European Commission in 2004.

Here is a perfect example how one insignificant person from the “backwoods” can come up with an idea that the vast majority of the EU Citizens don’t want and force it on them……Unfortunately this is only one example of “crack-pot” schemes that are forced onto an unsuspecting EU public……If something isn’t done soon the whole of the EU will become a loony's playground…..Oh and it’s a waste of time saying use your vote because when you do, and the out come is not to the EU’s liking, they move the goal posts or have another referendum!!!!!!!…..It’s time for that REVOLUTION…..
