The
death of the owner of the Shakespeare & Co bookstore in Paris, has
brought back memories of my time in Paris back in 1992, which lead

1998: First approval for absinthe in Europe |
|
Thursday, 31 March 2011 |
|
In 1998 the first laboratory tests linking thujone to absinthe were performed. Drafted by George Rowley, using the EEC Directive [88/388/EEC 442 & 443], the tests were carried out at the EU approved University of Prague VSCHT Chemical & Technical department. Rowley had to import rare chemical compounds from the USA - including thujone itself, as the laboratories contacted in Europe were lacking these key compounds. Signed and stamped by UK trading standards; this set the precedent for absinthe in Europe and beyond. This document has been censored. |
