Post Brexit - Why are we still permitting CENELEC etc to influence how we govern our own engineering affairs?

whjohnson

There seems to be a repeating mantra throughout the youtube presentation which becomes irksome if you listen for long enough. It seems that we just adopt, or rather 'harmonize' without question and then defer the responsibility for decision making back to CENELEC rather than think it through and act for ourselves.

How is it that we allow the tail to wag the dog? Isn't it time that we departed from harmonization and went our own way?

Comments welcome

    Over the last 20 years or so, I have had great success running a succession of 2nd hand cats acqured  from the blue cross, typically for the last 5-8 years of their lives, when original owners can no longer look after them for one or other reason,  and they all come with paperwork that verifies they are fully functional apart from the procreation features.

    Once expired they can be buried in the garden with due ceremony, some tears  and a little straw, where they will decompose. I have yet to bother to check and see if I am supposed to register this with any higher authority.

    None as far as I know has been CE marked anywhere, although they have all been 'chipped', allowing me to program the cat flaps to match and keep both wild and neighbours animals out.  So far however we have not had any mice in the house not any arc initiated fires we were not expecting, (*) so despite the lack of a CE mark they must be doing some good.

    (*) that choice of wording is deliberate
