The European Agriculture Commission is lifting marketing standards on 26 types of produce. This means that produce such as apricots, mushrooms and melons may be getting a little bit uglier. The regulations for the 10 most popular varieties of produce, including apples and citrus fruits, will remain unchanged. Should an unsightly apple make its way onto a market shelf, however, it can still be sold with the label "product intended for processing."

The paper described him as having "exposed the organs of government to public scrutiny."
Well, *I* thought it was funny.
