The EU doesn't have a uniform limit, either.

There are previous post(s) in this thread quoting EU regulations that have diddly squat to do with countries outside of the EU, this thread relates to an incident that took place in Norway so any EU regulation has got diddly squat to do with it.

I recently had communications with a pilot who had been terminated from a Middle East airline, he claimed that they had been operating illegally and justified this by quoting EU & JAA legislation, since when has the Middle East be in the EU & JAA and likewise since when has Norway been in the EU?

And yes, I have travelled extensively but why on this earth should an extensive traveller, who is not a pilot, be aware of blood/alcohol limitations in Norway or Sweden or indeed anywhere else?
