I edit IEC documents; I very rarely edit CENELEC documents except via comments submitted through BSI. That won't change after Brexit; at least no change is intended. But the volume of editorial correction needed is such that for many years I have been urging others to share the burden and it

Doug et al, A sigh of relief knowing that Ireland will champion the English language within the EU, unless the Francophiles push to return French to its former prominence in official communication. However, Ireland may not continue to pursue the virginity of the English language

I should think there would be consternation and monkeyhouse if English were not retained. My guess is that almost all multi-state communication is in English, verbal and written. Best wishes John Woodgate OOO-Own Opinions Only J M Woodgate and Associates www.woodjohn.uk Rayleigh, Essex UK On

All, With March 29 approaching, I've seen plenty of discussion on the impact of Brexit. However, I've seen virtually nothing on official languages of the EEC. And in particular how this might affect Declarations of Conformity/Incorporation as well as labeling and user documentation. In the
