Mercury rising?

How many Europeans have died of mercury poisoning in the last twenty years?

If even US states, the latest being New Hampshire, are passing laws banning mercury devices in a country where environmental issues are not usually a priority, I cannot see why the European Union should carry on allowing their production. - British Labour MEP, Linda McAvan.

Capital punishment is a legal form of punishment for the crime of capital murder in New Hampshire, when will Linda McAvan be proposing this in the European Union!?!

Could I mention that the "energy saving bulbs" being touted to the public as an aind to reduce carbon/global warming etc, actually use mercury in the production of these bulbs. Yet the EU wants to ban mercury, sheer madness
