But you can log on (well you can see the login screen) if you use the iceweasel / 
firefox addon "user switcher agent"). That is a workaround: a national website 
should be compliant with (inter)national standards.

If ~ 20% of users 
(http://mozillalinks.org/wp/2007/07/firefox-takes-28-market-share-in-europe/) cannot 
logon, does anyone want to open up a second front at the EU commission 

    http://www.opera.com/pressreleases/en/2007/12/13/

    http://ec.europa.eu/comm/competition/forms/consumer_form.html

Could not find any reference to the Opera case at the moment

Similarly MPs would be a good idea
