Politicians in the UK and I think EU consider only those laws that are in
the favour of what they wish to do, and ignore the rest.

Hello Mark,

Where you say,

"> There should be a law to check the whole environmental issue
>before blindly banning something.",

There actually IS a law here in the U. S. A. regarding exactly that
sort of thing:  www.nepa.gov/nepa/regs/nepa/nepaeqia.htm

See also the new Tin Whisker Knol
http://knol.google.com/k/steve-smith/tin-whiskers/e1osj187cpek/6#

 Some of our laws are honored more in the breach or neglect than in
 the observance....in EU there may be different laws, and different
 ways of honoring them.
