Amund,
I don't think the discussion reached a consensus. An early book on the
subject,
Chris Marshman. "The Guide to the EMC Directive." 1992:IEEE Press,
Piscataway NJ 308p.,
identified 'Communauté Européen' as the reason for 'CE' (p11 of
Introduction).
Some explainations are anachronistic. The 'European Community' ('Community
European' in romance languages) was still 'European Economic Community' when
the symbol was created. Chris may be correct.

Subject: CE - the abbreviation
Hi all,
We had a short discussion last autumn about the abbreviation of 'CE'. Did we
conclude that the characters CE didn't mean anything? I have seen papers
recently that says CE is 'Communauté Européen', but we did conclude that it
was incorrect, didn't we ?
Best regards
Amund Westin, Oslo/Norway
