Politics appears to have trumped science with new EU regulations limiting the export of Southern African oranges to Europe.

The regulations require special cold treatment for the export of oranges to Europe and came into force on June 24 — four days after the changes were announced. Consignments of oranges shipped before June 24 will be exempt if they arrive in Europe before July 14.
