The EU has become so absurd that it is now impossible to parody them.  Check this nonsense:

The European Commission has certainly “gone to work on an egg”. Its latest requirement is that farmers must stamp every egg they sell with their home address, the details of the hen which laid the egg, the method of production, the code for the producer-packer, and a sell-by date (News, Feb 7) (registration required).

One would think that the method of production would be obvious, but maybe they know something we don’t.
