With all due respect to ACAB-c, currently the term CAB means a proffesional accredited by NAB.
I'd suggest to consult with the legal department if the proposed requirement comply with Article 11 ( Freedom of assembly and association) of European Convention on Human Rights: 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests. 2. No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights other than such as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. This Article shall not prevent the imposition of lawful restrictions on the exercise of these rights by members of the armed forces, of the police or of the administration of the State.
