It never happened.  Some idiots erroneously assumed that the previous EBU
regulation was incompatible with the laws and precluded the use of
judgement.  Those same idiots never bothered to take a test case to the
EBU L&E.  If they lost matches as a result the may bemoan the lack of
clarity in the way the regs were presented but *they* must take
responsibility for interpreting those regs in the way that they did.
