Yes good point. So that people are aware, I was informed last week, (informally) and have had various discussions since then. CMAS have been contacted, and an e-mail of the proposed legislation copied to them. I have been informed that I as the secretary of the BSA have been 'added' to a list of those due to be consulted, as off yet I have received nothing. I am hoping to speak to someone at DEFRA tommorow to seek some clarification as to how and why this has come about, and there views on the matter. I will post as and when I have more information. Sorry I cannot add any more at this time I only know what everyone else here on deeperblue does. I should say that we will be infoming French, Spanish and Portuguse contacts and federations.
