Pwa - either concentrate on the issue being discussed or don't bother as Mods get shirty with personal stuff

Italian authorities have been very quick to "Impose" a fine and the issue I have been very clear on is that to target a particular airline which is exactly what has happened will not stand up in court. A single case involving any other airline where the Italian authorities have not attempted to extort money will show that it is a direct attack on Ryanair and will head to European courts. The fine makes good publicity but will be seen as an attempt to target an Italian Non National Airline which EU competition law will deal with.
