They're not indigenous though so they could be another one on the list.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

There are already laws on invasive species, which they're tightening up because it's becoming a huge problem.
For example
Japanese knotweed invasion is halting house sales as buyers are denied mortgages on blighted properties | Mail Online
http://www.independent.co.uk/environ...l-9120292.html
...and there is no such thing as an "EU Inspector". The UK have their own inspectors which go after invasive species.
I doubt there will be a ban on Rhododendrums in the UK, and the EU consultative document doesn't say anything about it, but then it wouldn 't make good reading would it, if the journalist was accurate.Last edited by BlasterBates; 12 March 2014, 17:59.I'm alright JackComment

Damn, more bans:
To date, the EU has banned 1,100 chemicals in cosmetics; the Food and Drug Administration in America has banned only ten. In fact, Cover Girl waterproof mascara contains the same ingredient (petroleum distillates, an oil by-product) as Dr. Scholl’s Wart Remover—both of which are illegal in Europe.“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

What is this continual crap about Japanese Knotweed? Unless you dig it up and throw the bits around it does not spread at all. Simple to get rid of too. Just pull out the shoots whenever you see them. In 2 or 3 years it's gone. Try doing that with damn brambles. Horsetail is a much more damaging plant for drives etc.bloggoth
