Europe pushes for one-size-fits-all condom - Vanessa Mock
The EU will soon be getting too close for comfort for Europeans with new rules to standardise the size of condoms across Europe. The European Commission is pushing for legislation for all condom manufacturers to start producing one-size-fits-all condom.
But the proposal, which has been pushed through by the German Presidency of the EU, has sparked an outcry in some countries, such as Italy. Italian MEP Giovanni Penne says the EU should not be meddling in its citizens' most private arena - the bedroom: "When it comes to love and romance, we have our way of doing things. We don't want Brussels slipping under our sheets."
The move has also been welcomed by many smaller condom makers, such as Sweden's Condomania. "We are already looking at merging with two smaller companies in Hungary, says Ottic, where condom sales are among the highest per capita in the world. "We are also launching a limited edition condom with the EU flag on it to mark the 50th anniversary of the EU."
