I'm glad to see that someone on the EC register is seeing things through a wide angle lens and not a telephoto lens.
In order for the petition to succeed there has to over 100,000 signatories; they should also include all of the stake holders involved in the profession: from engineers - whether registered or not; from industry - who employ and pay engineers; regulators such as the Engineering Council - who can put the case for a unified title in the context of the european union and the benefits this would bring to the UK.
As such the signitaries will include the usual group of engineers who have PEI membership and EC registration and not representitives from the other stake holders mentioned above. Therefore I'm expecting the excersise to fail.
If these petitions continue on a frequent basis, it wouldn't surprise me if the response from the government to the PEIs and EC would be to sort their house in order or face losing their respective royal charters.
