Eurocrats??

It isn't.

No stupid answers?...well, I'm not playing then.

because its like a light amphetamine. its great though! and its nothing near as dangerous as amph.
French hospitals have like 2 beds to a ward, life is good for the french. so the government takes decent care of them. in my opinion, not a newspapers.

because it give you wings and they have enough fairies... oh wait that was stupid nevermind. I have no idea.

It's been criticised for links to several deaths, and for the high levels of caffeine in it.

It's just France at the moment though. I'm guessing you're worried that the ban is going to spread to wherever you live?

Didn't know it was - you learn something new every day !

nathan just be aware of dependency.......on a lighter note france is a lovely country but it's full of french people

Because it contains something that the EU don't approve of.

coz people keep trying to fly off of the top of the Eiffel tower, SORRY!! couldn't resist. Xx

Because it's got too much caffeine in it, more than the French health authority approval standard. The French CPAM ( equals to NHS ) is the best in Europe. The government cares about the people. Everyone visit the same kind of doctors. ( Not like the UK, common folks visit the NHS, and rich folks visit private doctors in Harley St. ) If you work , you pay 30% of the consultation fee and pay the prescription. If you don't work, you get CMU. ( 100% paid by the government including dental treatment ) And the qualities of the medications are good, not like in U,K , shitty medicine from NHS , sometimes substitutes even.
