Prevented lighters

he thought of politicians are - if any - devoured. Perhaps puzzling. In any case confused. This is already standard for the German politicians, who curbs but occasionally, when journalists are nearby, and he worried that he will be recognized in his hometown. Still very much more so but for the European representatives of the strange profession, as most can be sure, neither the television to be recognized in their home. *) Is the only way to explain it, that they brought a "Regulation concerning the placing of child-resistant lighters" on the market of 25 Member States. It is not only described in detail, that lighters are manufactured so that they do not work. At least not as long, until the child is older than 51 months. (By the way: No one today knows more of the initiators to say who they came to the number "51".) That sounds something like this:

Lighters must be so designed that they are "under normal or reasonably foreseeable conditions of use, as a result of the force required effort or its structural quality or the protection of the existing ignition mechanism, or due to the complexity or sequence of required handling operations to produce the flame, not for children under 51 months "can be used.

Stop! There is a woman who gets up: Emilia Müller ! The CSU deputies openly says: "This is all nonsense!" Yes, that's pretty confusing. No, not the thing with the lighters. But the cause why such a woman is in such a party ...

Addendum: The Assembly has rejected a few days ago a bright moment in the law. For the time being ...

*) It remains one of the great mysteries of our country, why we - send to the EU only backbenchers or the third Guard - unlike France or England. For decades in Brussels made ​​laws that affect us much more drastic than, say, € 10 consultation fee ... But maybe someone to stir here?
