True. But, as the Treasury reminded me just the other day (how's that for name dropping?) with respect to the timing of the UK law to implement the loss of the red diesel derogation, each member state has only so long to bring its law into compliance with new EU law. "So long" is a bit flexible, but if it morphs into "too long" the member state is likely to get fined. Sound familiar? Adrian Adrian Stott 07956-299966
