>I would not want to live under Europe's "rational packaging" laws. There are no collective laws on sizing at the European level. Such laws are those of individual countries and they are incompatible with each other. Following the Cassis de Dijon court ruling (about a clash of incompatible laws), the current laws are doomed in their present form. The EU investigated the single market aspects of the problem and appears to be generally opposed to the concept of mandatory sizes. Unit pricing is mandatory for large stores and that seems to be regarded as the effective way to enhance visibility of value (on a personal level, I compare unit prices frequently). It is quite possible that most of the mandatory size laws will be eliminated. Some have already been abolished. See my previous postings on this subject. As for concealed price increases, these are always possible in the short term, but a properly functioning market will not allow prices to remain artificially elevated for long.
