I have read it (it was approved by the European Parliament on Wednesday), but uncertain whether it applies to archaeology, although archaeology isn't mentioned in the schedule as an exemption. But UK archaeology is organized on such a different basis to the rest of the EU, that if the directive applies to archaeology at all, it may only apply to it in the UK (where the majority of archaeological pracctice coild be classed as a service industry rather than a state-run concern).
This may mean that UK archaeology could become even more competitive, but the majority of Europe is pretty much a closed shop (at least to UK based companies).
I'd be interested whether other BAJRites have a few on this ahead of David's plan to spread BAJR to the rest of the world. Good thing/Bad thing you know what I mean.....
