     Proizvodi od plastike za jednokratnu upotrebu, poput tanjira, escajga, slamki ili štapića za uši, biće zabranjeni u Evropskoj uniji, sudeći prema planovima koje su velikom većinom usvojili evroposlanici.

     Products of plastic for single use, such as dishes, cutleries, straws, or ear scoops, will be banned in the European Union, judging by plans which the Eurodeputies have espoused by vaste majority.
