Can you please sign this epetition

The latest EU craziness bans the reuse of jars for honey, jam and chutney etc by bee keepers, the WI and charities etc.  This practice has been going on for centuries and is a good example of practical recycling

http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/39946

We request that the recent EU legislation prohibiting the sale of home made jams, chutneys and preserves in re-used containers be repealed. If this legislation is allowed to stand it will affect the income of thousands of charities and destroy a great British tradition.
