Default EU to flush your money down your toilet?

I notice you omitted this bit...
"Experts have reported that in Netherlands, and maybe soon in France,
toilets with less than 6 litres per flush cannot be installed. Portugal
should face the same limitations. In the UK, new toilets with more than 6
l/flush are forbidden and installations of toilets with less than 6 l/
flush are encouraged though it depends on where and when the property was
built, the drainage system installed, etc. For Britain, the Commission
notes that some toilets already in place before the new legislation can
use 7 or 9 l/flush."

Sounds to me like standardisation might be a good plan...

What ever! It's all negated by a burgeoning population, all too often
encouraged through taxpayer-funded incentives. Of course immigration is
a considerable factor too. Green deals and bags-for-life is merely
tinkering while Rome burns.
