UK - Daily Echo - EU export ban on fluoridated water

EU export ban on fluoridated water
FLUORIDATED water must be treated as a medicine and cannot be used to prepare foods! That is the decision of the European Court of Justice in a case dealing with the classification and regulation of "functional drinks" in member states of the European Community. The Court stated that even if a functional food product (or a food containing it) is legally marketed as a food in one member state it cannot be exported to any other member state unless it has a medicinal licence.
So any company making a consumable product using fluoridated water in its preparation or as an ingredient cannot export that product to any other state in the EC. Not only does the ruling ban the use of fluoridated water for all retail catering and wholesale food processing in the UK it also prohibits such trade to other member states .
The decision effectively bans all processed food products from countries such as the USA and Australia unless they can prove that it has been prepared using only water that was not fluoridated. But we are still expected to . drink this?

If it is true why isn't the law enforced.
