What do you mean by that, Dani? Are you talking about this phraseology procedure or are you talking about something else?
I thought it was standard, correct procedure to readback the instructions first, followed by the callsign. (As VATCO already pointed out)
When "my" current airline started, we used this LH procedure, as well. None of the pilots really liked it. The SOP's changed again when EBBR ATC started complaining about this procedure. We are now back to callsign last, with reading out loud the cleared level after the radio communication + confirmation by the PNF. Is much easier, in my opinion.
