The relentless EU critic, Czech president Václav Klaus is blaming EU for the current egg shortage and rocketing prices. He suggests the recent eggs scrambles stem from misplaced EU rules. “It’s a state failure but which state?” he asks rhetorically in a recent opinion piece. “It’s not just the state called the Czech Republic but a second, far more dominant one called the European Union.” His editorial in the daily Lidove noviny indicates that the EU is controlled by leftists, which places a permanent burden on the market. New EU regulations ban the importing of eggs from countries that don’t require minimum living standards for farm chickens.
