Czech and slovenian petition are being prepared as well ... and they will be submitted to the EU ... so, if you feel this is a nonsense, this is your chance to say no. If we don't do anything, of course it will pass.

You don't have to be french to sign the french one. If you're of the EU and there is no petition in your country, sign this one. If you are not of the EU, you can put a comment as a diving tourist which won't come to the EU and spend his money there. We can vote with our votes and we can vote with our money as well.

Hi Rubis,

A suggestion: setup one wepage called "Europeans divers against the EN144-3 norm" that would contain links to the petitions in all european langages (or translations in most common european langages so that they can sign the english version).

We miss translations (or local petitions), especially for countries where people do not (generally speaking) understand multiple langages such as Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Greece, Poland, etc. The others can read and sign the english version.

Last but not least: such initiatives will not be very effective if they remain in the cyberspace. To achieve something, there must be given some visibility in dive magazines to reach a wider audience and have a real impact. Anyone can help here?

Cheers.
