F3G, it seems you haven't read my complete post which continues as follows
"Whenever possible he will get descend, if he has to wait and cannot he should declare that he's unable to maintain level and emergency separation can be applied."
From your comment I understand that every a/c reporting turbulence has to be descended/climbed regardless of traffic or degree of turbulence. Good going. Again, just for the sake of clarity, when you declare that you are unable to maintain level you will be descended/climbed and emergency separation can be applied. Rest assured that any pilot asking for a level change due turbulence will get it but not at any price. As a final note you can also rest assured that we will try our very best to warn you about turbulence and try to plan you at different levels.
