It's the fear of legal action that causes people to press for answers. It isn't acceptable for legislation to be so obscure that courts have to decide what it means. Are the issues under discussion really 'grey areas'? The discussion that I have seen seems not to be centred on anything in particular. If someone can pose a *specific* question (or several), answers demonstrable from the wording of the Directive may be possible. -- Regards, John Woodgate, OOO - Own Opinions Only.
