If that's it, the law is completely useless, it just parrots general EU
regulations. The big question in Europe is what qualifies as a "diligent
search": I don't know if as usual UK wants to decide on its own, in any
case it would be useful for WMUK to ask a committee or whatever to
assist the Secretary of State in the decision and to be appointed/heard
in such committee. Usually they only listen to publishers and sometimes
librarians.
