Yes, info at our health food store paints an ugly picture. Oddly enough, they still market prescription drugs that are KNOWN to cause serious problems and sometimes even death--but they want to stop this flow of vitamins and supplements.
I had heard that large parts of it have been overturned by some European judges.

This is the Third Way, folks. TPTB have long realized they cannot simply subdue every nation by force. They have adopted a plan where all the countries simply adopt the same rules and administration. Thats why a few years back there was a big push to align US patent law with the European model. It failed.
Kyoto protocol was part of the same plan.
