Inreresting point.

If you have the AERAD Europe and Middle East supplement the procedures are in the COM section. In IMC, generally if you have been given "delay not determined" you have to divert, otherwise you decend in the hold at your destination to the lowest holding level then carry out the published instrument approach procedure.

The question I am not sure about is what constitutes "delay not determined". Must it be specifically stated, or is it to be assumed just because you have been instructed to remain in the hold with no EAT given? With most things in ATC if something is not explicitly stated, it should not be assumed.
