As per reports, the European Commission has recently announced that the refillable olive oil bottles will be banned at restaurants across Europe.

The move is being taken to stop the cheaper substitutes of the same being delivered to the customers. The commission has said that from year 2014 onwards, the customers in restaurants will only be allowed to use oil from non-refillable bottles with proper content labeling.

Olivier Bailly, a Spokesman for EU, said that the initiative is being taken in the interest of the customers as they are often deceived by the cheap product. Mr. Bailly said that they just wanted to make sure by the move that they are getting exactly the same thing that they are paying for.

He also avowed that the non-refillable bottles will improve the hygiene. The move is being supported by a majority of the 27-member nations, affirmed EU.

On the other hand, the move is facing severe criticism from some bureaucrats. They are saying that the initiative is nothing more than a useless interference.

“They should let the people decide what olive oil bottles they want to use and not dictate uniformity from the centre”, said Paul Nuttall, the Ukip MEP. He argued that the move is contradicting the moves that demand reusing of the goods.
