Euro Accessibility Act, pointless ?

You know me always game for a laugh, and always able to find some of the biggest in Europe. The latest is a 'consultation' on accessibility which appears to have a few 'european' fans of the deaf ilk in the UK in a tizzy. Someone hasn't told them the UK wants as little to do with the European laws or Europe mostly and still hasn't complied with an law made 10 years ago regarding BSL, and currently telling European Parliament their laws are going to be opposed in the UK, including their hypocritical human rights one.

Sorry, the gravy train has stopped at Dover lads. Almost forgot, here is the proposal for those who still dream about the UK and UK deaf being 'European' (Global even). Not re-printed in entirety, or the joke would be lost.......

DEFINITION: European Parliament and Law making Commissions. An prime example of the old theory of probabilities. Get an infinite amount of monkeys typing away for an infinite amount of time, they will come up with Shakespeare's works. But WILL they come up with an law that works ? jury is out, it aint happened yet.

Public consultation with a view to a European Accessibility Act
Date: 29/02/2012.

Objective of the consultation.

The Commission is reflecting on the development of a European Accessibility Act containing measures to improve the accessibility of goods and services in the European market.
