Actually, I got it OK last time. I'd like to add to it but haven't
managed yet. Well, hey, let's try now. Here goes, with the usual
disclaimers, plus a few more in case I offend anyone either on this side
of the pond or on your side...
ce:
===
Completely Excessive,
Closed Europe,
Can't Export?
Changed Extrusions,
Connectors Eliminated:
Compliance Expensive.
Consultants Extrapolate
Compliance Excuses.
Can't Extricate;
Compile Extra-documentation:
Celf Exemption!
EMC:
====
Every Minute Crack,
Electricity May Creep:
Electrocute More Customers?
Europe May Contract;
Even May Cause
European Micro Climate!
Even My Computer's
Extra Metal Cabinet
Easily Makes Cost-overrun.
Every Means Conceives
Extra Messy Compliance:-
Eliminate Margins Completely!
Extend My Contract! [with notified &/or competent body]
End Mass Commerce!
Exclude Major Competitors!
PS: Even Maastrict Considered
European Monetary Confusion
Extremist Mercenary Commission.
PPS: Don't show this to the DG of the EU or they'll convene an IGC,
notify the AER and the WEU, take us to the ECJ, draft a COMDOC, write us
up in the OJ, launch EUROPOL to search the EU, EEA, and EFTA and impose
a fine of several MECUs (plus VAT). We'll have to leave RACE, BRITE,
join the ERM, become an SMA, and hide in a quiet ESA.
[Hey, it's all a great thing really, it will bring us all closer
together, we can sell more stuff to each other, the customers will love
it, and they won't mind a bit about the cost. I am sure our competitors
won't take any short cuts and won't just stick a new label on their old
design.]

My internet email seems to have packed up (who's that cheering at the
back?) so I'm trying an experiment to see if the Nutscrape newsgroup
reader will send this. I actually sent it last week, but it vanished:
It's Friday, and the end of a long week, so I thought I'd bring some
levity into these hallowed halls:
Does anybody know of alternative definitions for EMC and CE ? The one's I
have so far are:
Even More Confusion
End of My Career
Exclusively Male Club
Easy Money for Consultants
ElectroMagnetic Compromise
European Market Closed
Competent bodies Everywhere
Costs the Earth
Check Everything
Committee Extravaganza
Feel free to add your (non-crude !) ideas to the list.
PS: Before I get any flak - no offence intended to Consultants and
Competent Bodies!
