BBC

Thanks Eric, I didn't spot that until later. Usually the BBC leave the earlier versions of stories on their site and link back to them but maybe someone mentioned that the first one was rubbish!

And while I'm having a soap-box moment, you might want to look at this item I came across from Personnel Today a leading UK human resources magazine

Now look at the report of the European Parliament debate.

Some discrepancy there? The correspondents to Personnel Today certainly seem to have taken it from the original story that the MEPs were about to pass new legislation. "Yet more EU red tape" as they put it.
