 Conservatives in the European Parliament - News Story - John Bowis MEP raises a glass to Brussels' light ale decision   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
John Bowis MEP and his fellow Conservatives in the European Parliament were today saying "cheers" to the European Commission after bureaucrats saw sense and agreed to exempt light ale from draft laws on food and drink labelling currently being considered.
The decision follows a long campaign by Mr Bowis to have the popular tipple excluded from the scope of the planned legislation, which is designed to crack down on misleading descriptions on food products.
Mr Bowis had feared restrictions on the use of "light" would have discriminated against traditional British light ale because the word refers to the drink's colour and character, not to any claim that it has less calorific content than other beer.
