It was still correct in the WDR morning magazine, but the Tagesschau is not too stupid to repeat the silly joke again:
We should thank the Strasbourg deputies, we have escaped again on this sunny September day: The EU directive "for protection against optical radiation at the workplace" has been overturned and thus remains, hopefully forever, disappeared in the darkness of the archive cabinets.
Dear journalists: the regulation was primarily about artificial optical stress, not about the sun. It was in no way about covering anyone who carries beer mugs - it was about employers being obliged to actively point out to employees the strain caused by UV radiation and to inform them about it. The hint here: >Bare upper bodies on the construction site, deep décolletés in the beer garden, lifeguards without covering.
is therefore complete nonsense.
One may wonder if such a regulation makes sense - but this silly fuss about something that was not the aim of the regulation is actually only embarrassing and ridiculous. More embarrassing and ridiculous than any EU regulation could ever be ...
