Be interesting to see if the EU enforce their regulations on Italy's failing banking system when the Government break the rules to prop them up.

My point still stands that in a lot of cases UK legislation was more comprehensive than the equivalent EU legislation. That's why the UK adopted both the EN (harmonised standards) and BS standards.

Which are both ISO standards with a wrapper round them. It is certainly true that each incarnation adds a few bells and whistles. There is always bits of our own legislation we like to keep while also adopting parts of the EN adoption we didn't have before. So yes that makes ours more comprehensive, but that isn't to say there wasn't a benefit/cost to adopting the European standard

I asked the same question in post [HASHTAG]#8983[/HASHTAG] mate.

I think it depends on the public mood at the point of any parliamentary vote. If there'd been a massive shift in public opinion since the referendum then you could argue that the correct moral decision would be to vote against, but I suppose the key to that will be the feeling on the ground in each MP's constituency.
It's a decision that each and every MP would have to make for themselves and the conclusion they reach should be the one that allows them to look themselves in the mirror.......

The guy is a paranoid baffoon. Obviously mummy didn't hug him enough as a child, or maybe hugged him too much. The guy is a big baby who keeps having a hissy fits and throwing his toys out the pram.

Without a doubt backwards Tobes. The U.K. Government continually try to "water" down any new legislation.

What I should also add is that from a couple of years ago, the HSE became a "self funded" organisation. Not convinced that this is the way to go.

Thanks mate

Yeah I did read that, but safety is an area where I am reasonably familiar with what's going on. I hold IOSH and NEBOSH qualifications, Management of Absestos 405, CDM, PUWER and LOLA and work to such legislation as EN13849 parts 1 and 2 on a daily basis.
You're both right to a certain degree. The EU has traditional used British legislation, such as the health and safety at work Act 1974, as the basis of its own legislation. The 6 pack is effectively the H&S 1974 act with more detail. In most cases the UK legislation was more comprehensive than the equivalent EU legislation and that is why the UK adopted both the EN (harmonised standard) and the BS standard.
The safety passport type schemes which are now adopted on most construction sites are still reasonably unique to the UK.

As if this thread wasn't tedious enough, we've got bloody H&S directives being discussed. Anyway 'reported' Pieguts for sinking the tone of this thread to a new low. GTFO <whistle>
