Below is a link to a story titled "Brussels drops bid to ban imperial measures" http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20070508/wl_uk_afp/eumetric_070508114519 Although this is not the best news, it does give us hope that now, in return, NAM (National Association of Manufacturers) will follow through in supporting the metric-only amendment to the FPLA as they were bargaining for, if the EU would allow imperial measures to continue. The two actions sounded (to me) a bit contradictory, but that's what industry was bargaining for. Don Hillger USMA Webmaster USMA listserver owner
