Even buyers outside the EU will be able to find toys which carry the standard markings for compliance with EU standards.

But some well-known search engines are swamped by AI-generated trash versions. I hope this image is useful, but I cannot say I know.

I see too much advertising from USA-owned social media corporates which seems to struggle with the idea that different countries have different laws.

Good luck getting straight answers from the septics.

I hadn't realised it was #InternationalCatDay

Thanks for letting us know.

It's Brigg Fair on the 5th August.

I've known Roma all my life and I trust them more than I do politicians.

@EU_Commission There is one very obvious digital market that is missing, unless they're playing tricks with names.

A new law banning products of forced labour?

That is going to set off the frothing loonies in some countries.

I can think of several countries outside the EU which could find their exports to the EU affected.

How well I remember the old days, when the markets were filled with the sound of bicycle sellers pedaling their wares...

I wonder if the status-change is more to do with being able to reliably produce and use safe vaccines than with COVID-19 not being a threat.

I was at a meeting in the "Second Life" virtual world where some of the issues related to this were raised.

It's corporate America. They expect people to use high-end hardware. They are rushing headlong back to the pre-Berne days of copyright handling. OK, their local law has to take priority, but to them there is nothing else but a lawless wilderness.

@EU_Commission
I am not in the EU any more, our government is run by racist paranoid incompetents, and I am not sure there is any point in me following you.

But I will follow you for a while, and try to choose on what you do.

@drmaddkap The mile is a formal unit, not like some of their media insanities. I have used chains and rods, but our politicians get a bit excited if we try to use poles.

Missouri uses a slightly different foot for land surveying.
