Single engine commercial ops

Out of curiosity.. Did this movement ever pass muster ? From what I can see single engine ifr commercial ops (such as a TBM 850) were supposed to be approved in 2003.

What ever happened here ?

Thanks.

"European proposals to allow commercial single-engine operation at night and in instrument meteorological conditions (SEIMC) are to be scrutinised by UK research company Qinetiq before rulemaking by the European Aviation Safety Agency. If Qinetiq's report, commissioned by EASA, succeeds in resolving the differences that have held up this controversial rule for years, a ruling on SEIMC could become law as early as the end of next year."

Thanks for that STOL... Quite shocked at how long this has taken to be honest. Must be very frustrating for those involved in lobbying etc.
