It is indeed a farce, every time they give you a hoop to jump through they replace it with a brick wall!

I have had rows with the EU directly about this and can only see it as a job creation scheme with all types of scum ready to relieve you of any money. My solution? Just put 3 cag on fuel across Europe as an EU tax, this would pay for the frog huggers to have a new nylon carpet installed in Brussels...!

Overall a total nightmare! Opening an aircraft operating account is even worse. I have never had to provide such detailed confidential information to any authority having been in the industry for 35 years (guess which country we have been allocated:(). Only have about 6 flights to the EU each year(totally private). Time to retire good luck to those who remain you are going to need it:sad:

Same boat as you 4HP. Heels firmly dug in while we wait for the inevitable. But it seems that once they have your number, they are pretty tenacious...

..even the boss is starting to reconsider his business interests in the UK, what with APD, ETS and the downward spiral we are experiencing with customs and immigration these days.

10-12 private trips to or via the EU and also been dealt a UK 'base'

Way too much bull**** information to be filled in on the registration - nothing that is a single iota of business of these ETS mongers

:(

You are sooooo right. I can´t stand that bloody sh1te any more.

Does anyone remember, say, 1990? Where you would drive to the airport, file a flightplan (the same you had filed the last 5 years) hop on the plane and go.

No IFPS/CFMU, no out-of-control-security, no airport slots, no APD, no CO2 terror, no new rules every fortnight etcetc.
