AEI makes a stand against deteriorating safety standards.

[Epsomdog]

I’m afraid it’s an illustration of how the “European Dream” has failed us all. Years ago they set out with the aim of developing a common standard within the industry, based broadly on the FARS and sprinkled with some of the best bits from various NAA within Europe. JARS were developed, there was much argument about how these rules could be implemented by the different states, so acceptable means of compliance guidelines were then drawn up. These could then be interpreted in different ways by the various NAAs.
As a result, after 40 years of bureaucratic gobbledygook, we now find ourselves back where we started, without a common standard. Still I’m sure there’s a new generation of Eurocrats waiting in the wings, with their expense accounts, pensions and salaries all sorted. Ready for the next round of talks to resolve the issue. Don’t hold you’re breath!
