Here's another idea:
Why doesn't Europe switch from 70°C wires to 90°C wires, like North America has? If it's standard in the US it can't be expensive.
If I recall correctly, Trumpy mentioned something about halogen free cables being 90°C down under. Why not go halogen free when at it?
OK, I'll admit: I have a hidden agenda. Instead of "harmonising" current national cables, which will just confuse people, CENELEC should introduce new better ones. Just introduce the same all over Europe and nobody can complain over unnecessary harmonisation. With a common standard, prices will be kept low which means you don't need to ban the old ones. Market forces will favor the new cables.
The nationalists can go on installing EKK, PVIK and T&E.
