Members of the European Comunity are useless;their decissions, in every field, are only goodwill talks because they know nobody takes any notice of what they say. But travelling around from meeting to meeting enlarges their ego. I would easily bet the EU will be disolved by 2021 then the Europen seas will be clean. The special lay out of our seas, the havy shipping, the industrial land, the polluted rivers, etc...makes it a very difficult, if not impossible, task.

Sounds a typical committee decision. Lets put an impossibly long delivery date when all of us will be gone and it won't matter then if anyone does anything about it or not. Now if they had said that the seas must be clear before any EU country can stage the Olypics...that would be a different matter wouldn't it? 20012 is a lot closer and some of those making the decision might still be arround to nswer aukward questions. Perhaps we should be lobbying our MEPs (EU memebrs) to get this decision changed.
