Gene, There is no change as yet. All that has happened is that the Commissioner has stated that he is of the opinion that supplementary indicators should be allowed indefinitely. The modifications to the directive still have to be published, agreed by the Council of Ministers and agreed by the EU Parliament.

Each member state may enforce *SI only* after 2009 if it chooses to do so. With the best projected use of *SI only*, there would likely be variations of enforcement from state to state even in the absence of pressures for continued permission for duality. Until there is a formal revision of the EU Directive requiring *SI only* or a new EU Directive in its place, I shall continue to believe that each member state may enforce *SI only* after 2009, at least until the member state has had time to act on the supposed new Directive. Where is there evidence of a new EU Directive on the SI? What is the verbatim wording of such a new Directive? Which member states have abrogated their laws to enforce the present Directive on the SI?
