:(. Sad. I was hoping the Europeans would stick to their guns and force it through. I guess all we can hope for is NAM cooperating. Was there a real deal where NAM would allow metric only labels if the EU dropped their bid?

The two actions sounded (to me) a bit contradictory, but that's what industry was bargaining for. Don Hillger USMA Webmaster USMA listserver owner
