Cheers Martin It's a well-written piece. But I did mention Directive 71/354 in my original reply! I note that Wikipedia considers Directive 71/354's status to be "unknown" If you check the preamble of 80/181/EEC, you will find (just before article 1) "Where Community provisions relating to units of measurement are to be found in several Community texts; whereas the question of units of measurement is so important that it is essential that reference may be made to a single Community text; whereas this Directive thereby consolidates all the Community provisions on the subject and repeals Directive 71/354/EEC, has adopted this Directive." This has the effect of repealing 71/354/EEC.
