Thommo,
You must realise that in the UK the political parties will 'invent' their own definitions of 'employment' and 'unemployment' - basically to score points against the opposition.
If the EU definition is at a variance to their political program, then the EU can get stuffed. 'Cos the UK is speshul or something...
Each political party will, if it gets in power, impose its definition on the bean counters, or maybe not if it becomes politically embarrassing. The UK lot can change their minds at the 'drop of a hat'.
