Well all my friends think that it is a marvellous policy and that anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot!! See how easy it is to hide behind un-named friends? . . .
Firstly, your friends will only know what you've told them, and it is easy to see where you're coming from.
Secondly, I doubt that any of them are experts in European law, so your borderline libellous statement has no authority. . . .
If you really have a problem with all this I suggest that you write to VSL and complain, rather than whinging on a public forum

DG, I wish you'd consider toning down the rhetoric.
First of all, I gave my own opinion on this issue both within that post, and - previously - in others. Second, you are both presumptious and in error to assume that I had not contacted VS directly.
You're also out of line in implying that I had been less than honest in communicating the issue with my friends.
Fourth, very few of the posts in this thread have had anything to do with legal matters or procedures: they have been almost exclusively concerned with customer support and loyalty. (Were one to address the issue of legality here, I wouldn't be surprised if EU commercial law were superceded by international trade agreements and conventions, since VS is selling its products globally.)
DG, you don't own this discussion. While I'm sorry that reading some of the posts diminishes your enthusiasm for VI, I would suggest that you take a hint from yourself: to paraphrase how you close many of your own posts, "if reading this thread turns you off, don't read it."
