Before we start cutting our budgets for the purchase of standards, I read in another CEN announcement ; "eEurope standards are defined in workshops whose agreements will be made available for downloading free of charge from the CEN web site".
So it may just be CEN Workshop Agreements (CWAs) that are available for free. These seem to be rather unique documents. To quote from BSI Update Standards "A CEN Workshop agreement (CWA) represents only the concensus of those who participated in the parent CEN Workshop; hence, a CWA may not represent the views of all interested parties and so is not accorded the status of a European standard. The solutions offered through a CWA may compete with those offered in another CWA in the same field or a related European standard."

You will have to paste it back together to obtain the full and correct link. And John is correct. Someone forget to tell the CEN website that the documents are now free.
