Having e-mailed my MEP MP and the PM and transprt sec.
I've had some very negative replies along the lines of
"you dont understand the political issues"
and
"at least this compromise is better than no regulation at all"
They try to state that the UK will retain its higher standard of FTL through CAP.
My experiance with the elements of JAR implemented so far, and personally in other industries affected by euroland, is that once there is a common EU policy the UK will be forced to rapidly come into line with it regardless of the wishes of the national regulator.
This issue is critical NOW.
Hassle your elected representatives. Its easy and its what they are getting paid £60K+ a year for.
