Claim: The EU banned the crown symbol from appearing on pint glasses.
Fact-check: EU rules didn't 'ban' crown symbols on pint glasses - Full Fact
Verdict: in 2006, eu legislation implemented the ce mark as the mark of an accurate measure on pint glasses. this meant all glasses had to bear the ce mark, but the eu rules did not ban the crown symbol, and the eu did not order the uk to remove it. it was technically allowed under the rules if used in a decorative way rather than as a marker of accuracy.
