Dec. 20 (Bloomberg) -- The European Union said it will review a Dec. 15 ruling by Spain to exempt Formula One car racing and MotoGP motorcycling from a ban on tobacco advertising through the end of 2008.

The exemption contravenes an EU directive on tobacco ads that came INTO phpbb_force Aug. 1, European Commission spokesman Philip Tod said by telephone today.

Ohhhhh now I get it. I remember the caffuffle, when Britain banned it, helping almost destroy F1 racing. It wa sall treated as a local issue then, but now we get the truth.

Britain was just doing as it was told by our EU masters.

I can't cut an paste this site for some reason. There is some EU habitat protection law, that states we all have to protect whales and be seen to do so.

Belgium, France, Greece, Italy, Holland, Portugal, Spain and you guessed it, the UK are in trouble.

What kind of ******** is this? No we have to set up expensive systems to monitor for stuff, even if we have hardly any or get mega fines.

Why are we still in the EU?
