Do you have any sources? According to Wikipedia, this regulation applies only in Australia, UK, and Taiwan.

Germany and Italy have the latches for sure.

I do not, I just thought I read it somewhere years ago that it was an EU regulation... as you're saying it's allowed in parts of the EU I guess it can't be!

I'm not sure if this was exaggerated on our side of the straight, but here we read quite a lot about Brexit politicians (including Boris Johnson) complaining about made up EU regulations they'd have to follow (a famous example was the ban on curved bananas)

I don't think this was one of them, this was my error/misremembering, as we've never had those latches on our fuel pumps.

And don't get me started on Brexit and BoJo the clown... I'm still angry about that to this day
