Something of a classic of its kind.
Only in the last few lines do we learn;
A spokesman for the London office of the European Commission said: 'This is nonsense. "Brussels" has no legal powers to intervene in which books are available in UK schools, it is a matter for the UK and for schools.
'The European Parliament committee report - which anyway represents just the committee's view - does not suggest banning books.
'And even in areas where it does call for EU level action and where that is legally possible, that can only be done if the Commission makes a proposal - it hasn't - and if the European Parliament as a whole and a large majority of member states then adopt it.'
You couldn't make it up etc etc...
