| Message | We would like to inform the legislature of the dangers imposed by a possible change in food regulations. While we agree with the rest of the proposals as our motto always was "Power to the community",leaving food distribution and laws concerning it(Articles 2&3) to local governments may put our citizens' health at risk. Other than that,everything else is fine,we would support it if we had any legislative power |
