According to Der Spiegel:
The potentially dull-sounding EU "Optical Radiation Directive" has got British tabloid The Sun in near hysteria today, as the paper fears it will lead to the end of the traditional English busty barmaid. According to the paper, the directive will ban barmaids "from wearing low-cut tops" as "barmaids run a skin cancer risk if they expose themselves to the sun when they go outside to collect glasses." The paper's ire was roused by recent reports that waitresses at the Munich's famous Oktoberfest would be forced by the directive to cover a little more cleavage. Waitresses at the festival wear the traditional 'dirndl' dress which accentuates the bust line and carry drinks to tables in the summer sunshine. In response to rumours that the dress would be outlawed by the directive, Munich's mayor threatened never again to go into a beer garden in the city if the dirndl was done away with.
Luckily the caption for the picture says: "Don't worry, nobody is going to stop you looking at their jugs."
Whew!
