Another stupid EU rule. This sort of stuff should be left to individual countries. My 2200w Miele is way better than any Dyson I've tried. No wonder the UK want out of the EU!

Just realised, this is Europe wide, which means the whole if Europe is going to be really dusty! This will reduce tourism to the whole of Europe causing serious economic issues. China (who clearly don't give a toss about pollution) will take over the world in light of Europe's downfall. Within 5 years the O-zone will be gone and the whole thing will have been counter productive!

How can't the people in Brussels see this?!

Yes, because Europe is the only thing saving the planet from Chinese supremacy!  :rolleyes:

Currently China won't invade because all of the armies in Europe can match (give or take) China's military power, unless America sides with them, but meh. Now. Due to Europe's new dusty state, lack of tourism etc everyone will be slashing their military budget, opening is up to attack!

Europe will essentially become a giant iphone factory all because we can't have powerful Hoovers. You can't argue with facts dude.

China invade Europe?  Really!  :grin:

There are many, many reasons why China won't/can't be militarily aggressive with Europe and/or the USA, but the mane one is money.

The number 1 & 2 areas of Chinese exports in $$ value is Europe and USA. They make far far much more money from us that we do from them.

That will all change when nobody in Europe can afford to import stuff from China due to the dust induced economic downturn.
