Cake ban causes excitement: Bordesholm fights against EU rules!

In the heart of Bordesholm, an EU hygiene regulation causes excitement and a blatant cake shortage at this year's Christmas market. As a result of the strict regulations, the popular cakes of the country women have been canceled, and instead of the usual diversity, there is only a limited selection of 960 pieces provided by a commercial bakery, such as KN-Online . The chairwoman of the country women, Claudia Jargstorf, said that the regulation was no longer the dominant topic at the stand when it presented the delicacies offered. The decision to do without the sale of your own cakes not only reduced the market, but also made high waves in the media landscape.

extensive consequences and media echo

The EU regulation No. 852/2004 specifies that strict food hygiene regulations apply to events that go beyond typical regional festivals. This provision now ensures that private individuals who are hobby bakers are restricted in their creativity because they cannot meet the requirements. This also criticized Stern , which pointed out how important cake sales are for the common feeling at village festivals. In the past, these sales were a central component of events that strengthen the cohesion in the community. The cancellation of the cake stand is therefore perceived by many as disproportionate and harmful to the local attitude to life.

The media interest has increased significantly in the past few days and rejected the discussion about EU regulations. Citizens like Hans-Peter Timpke from the SPD criticize the exaggerated interpretation of the regulation, which is often not perceived in other regions. The Christmas market, which is usually characterized by a warm atmosphere and the effort of the local bakers, is now in the shade of bureaucratic decisions that put confidence in the EU.
