Surreal, isn't it?
That is Europe for you.
Yet another example of the bad science that permiates the EC.

I begin to believe that there is no one in Brussels who understands chemical metrology, uncertainty and all the consequences of using bad science to undepin regulation.

Excuse me, I need to go and take another tablet. mad2



I know it was years ago Peter but we had one 20 min session with the Minister and he certainly was well briefed on what the implications were and what would really address the problem. His Sir Humphrey totally blocked it based on the increase in cost, being one of the team representing the retail motor trade we were responsible for agreeing MOT test fee rates and had already said if the garages had to spend £X on kit and training and double the time to carry out the test then the fee would need to go through the roof in order for us to support the test, the DOT HGV stations also walked away from the problem due to inability to handle the throughput. The Minister had to do something but he knew he could not deliver what the greens wanted for what the industry and car owners could afford. I actually felt for him it was a no win situation.
