At first I thought you were making up a super funny and clever thing, but by god, you're only referencing a pre-existing funny thing [1]. Although funny in a different way.
Hey, nevermind that the article you linked expressly notes that the entire policy is around a standard for the classification of produce, and that the EU is first and foremost an economic union with the goal of harmonized trade regulations.
You know, the type of thing where standard gradings and classification of produce and manufactured goods would be fairly important? (and you know, in no way different to any other modern nation or industrial group).
