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?

The British petition has been mentioned (with URL) in both the main UK dive magazines.
In my view to stop this nonsense you must have the support of the dive industry. Politicians care about business and jobs far more than the handful of votes of a few divers. Sadly it seems to me that the dive industry are not fighting this. The shops have the most to lose while equipment manufacturers stand, if anything, to gain. So I guess the industry as a whole will do nothing.
Equally it is fair to say that if dive shops are prepared to fill cylinders the problem will for leisure divers will simply go away.
