Small Business Can

Its important we expand into new markets, but its also important to maintain the ones we have. The EU is silently putting in a law to ban many popular food supplements and in doing so reduce consumer choice and potentially effecting the health of the nation. This is important. There are many professionals with successful businesses using products that could be banned in the coming months, for no reason except the producers do not have the funds to pass the expensive tests laid down by the EU.

Here is a list of your local MEP's to write to

And here is more information about how the EU is restricting your choice and putting business's out of work.

I am with you on this one. When you speak with your MEP ask them to explain how Uk suppliers are allowed to ship
goods into Ireland exempt of vat using an Irish Vat number and invoice these goods directly to the UK multi HO? Ask them to clarify what happens to the invoice when it arrives in the UK HO of the multi? Does the multi issue a transfer of goods invoice to it's Irish operation? If UK vat has not been paid how is this a B2B transaction? Who is monitoring this? How can the Irish Revenue grant the multi the right to choose not to disclose intra group transactions? how is this not the State interfering in the free market so as to confer a unfair and inequitable market place advantage to out-side multis over the domestic Irish supply chain.

The really campaign will be to have the generic Irish retailer (web based as well), supplier and distribution chain classified as an endangered species!!!

That reality is not as far away as one would think.
