Hi Gene, Firstly, good luck with your recovery.
Secondly, If you visit http://www.ipex.eu/ipex/cms/home/Documents/dossier_COD20070187;jsessionid=1C 546F6673A1A2FDBC25B971D630E28D you will get an update on progress within EU member states regarding the directive. A number of countries have scrutinized the legislation, but no mention is made on that page of any countries amending their own national legislation in response to the EU directive. Of course, not all countries need pass legislation in respect of the EU directive - under the UK European Communities Act of 1972, any EU directive is automatically part of UK law - all that the UK Government need do (in theory) is to fill in the gaps. If these gaps have already been filled in, then the UK Government need not do anything. The same applies to other governments. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: 18 August 2009 19:57 To: U.S. Metric Association Subject: [USMA:45665] Return to the Chase I had open heart surgery on July 27 in York, Pa. Am now recovering at the Cross Keys Village east of New Oxford, Pa. My immediate objective is to determine the new laws of the EU member states in response to Directive 80/181 and the 2009 Amendment thereto. Any facts on this question? Gene Mechtly
