Default Wireless and Telegraphy, EMC laws ignored here in the UK

(resubmission as last one failed)

Dear members

I want to ask advice please on the following complex subject!

We have a very clear set of laws and EU directive relating to radio
interference here in the UK and as part of our European membership.

Yet a very serious threat to international broadcasting, radio
amateurs and the many professional services that use the part of the
radio spectrum known as short wave or HF has occurred!

Devices know as power line adaptors or power line ethernet have
flooded into the market and cause massive interference.
Please take a look at this web site:

Ofcom have been involved and seem to deal with it on a case by case
basis, BT who are currently the biggest supplier with their BT Vision
package will remove the offending adaptors when a compliant is made!
this tells a tale in itself!

But if you watch this video from UKQRM you will see that there are
many shops and suppliers sending these adaptors onto our market!

We have started writing to our MP's and have formed a group to try and
fight this.
It would seem that the EMC tests were done in house and self
certificated.

What I want to know is why have the UK Government not stepped in to
prevent this before it was inflicted on us?
Why is the regulator not taking action to enforce the laws and
regulations nationally?

What can we do as a group of people to help ourselves legally?

There is significant feeling about this as our e-petition shows

Thank you for your time and consideration.
