Greeks could lose eggs too

WILL the EU add to the suffering of one of its peripheral member states sentenced to decades of financial austerity, by closing down its poultry industry?

Fortunately, Ireland is not the target. But it will be interesting for us to see if EU regulatory authorities will go easy on countries where the citizens face austere livelihoods controlled by the financial demands of the European Central Bank, European Commission and International Monetary Fund.

In the spotlight is Greece’s egg production industry. Soon, the country’s anti-austerity protesters may not even have eggs to throw at officials.
