In theory we could, but : 1. You need a GOOD lawyer who is willing to take such a case 2. You need the funds to pay such a lawyer and court fees (several hundreds of euros and more) 3. I'm not sure what sort of jurisdiction the courts might have over MSA according to Malta's laws. At most I doubt we could realisticly go further than a judicial protest or a similar symbolic statement. 4. I do not think that MSA acted unfairly, its just that the pro voice managed to be more vociferous and convincing than the against voice. I still think that Malta voted badly with regards to the national interest, but they did so after following all the required procedures.
I think that in the case of Malta a much more effective tactic would be the PQ. If you know a friendly MP we could try and prepare some background documentation, and convince him/her to ask for clarification, but make no mistake, I do not think that we can expect any MP to make questions on the issue unless WE do all the preparatory work (not easy) and can show there is a clear benefit to raising the issue. Oh and maybe we should also re-alert all our MEP to this risk this issue poses for the Standardisation process in general; namely that it will cause a loss of faith in the standardisation bodies and their processes which are so important for the european project.
