The point about the EU was made in light of the original discussion on H&S. At the time I also referred to the European Association of Archaeologists (EAA), which of course is much more wide ranging in scope (geographically) and probably covers the EEA as well as the EU.
The EAA now is about where the IFA was 20 years ago and so a lot needs to happen before universally agreed detailed standards (especially on H&S) are put into action by that particular body. However I think the diplomatic pressure put on the IFA in the UK by BAJR is an inspiration for future lobbying with the EAA.
Sorry for all the acronyms, I just read this back to myself and it is probably incomprehensible outside this forum .
