I'm really annoyed with the EU Commission and the British government.

We Brits are paying through our teeth for adhering to a "Green Policy", which includes Air Pollution and Clean Air Acts yet we allow IMPORTS from countries who clearly are not able to meet any conditions laid down. The Commission and successive governments have failed our Iron and Steel Industry.

How can goods made in China which has a pall of black smoke hanging over its citizens possibly manufacture goods that can pass expensive rigorous BSI (British Institute Standards) or the EU Standard to gain a kite mark?

Obviously the standards for each manufactured product is met in order to gain the kite mark but to safeguard our interests the British Government should insist that every product should have an accompanying Statement of Clean Air in the manufacture of the Good/product by the specific factory and not just n A,B,C,D code of how much pollution the product produces. Any product not meeting our own "Green Code", plus other Standards or course, should not be imported into our country.

I believe if that condition was placed on all imports we would not have had steel and iron plus other goods dumped on us.
