Tasca / What future?

Tasca:

In portugal there are some traditional bars being closed down due to European Standardization laws. This bars are called Tasca's (from the original word Taverna), and they used to exist in a very regular way, for one could fine it in almost every corner of any city in Portugal. Now its existence is threatned becouse EU claims for its unsafety, or for the new standard sizes that are norms to be taken in consideration in its every country.

I am talking about places were people joined in to eat and drink cheaply, to talk, discuss and a laugh about the quotidian.
For example in Coimbra there were more than 100 hundred Tasca's about 10 years ago. Now only 20 are still operating.
In Braga a 100 year old café was closed becouse it had a wooden roof.

Well this hole situation gets to be even more evident when we justapose an economical crisis (having its peak in 2005 when ASAE - Autoridade de Segurança Alimentar e Económica was created), with the beginning of this activities.
Its the imposed social/visual formating that I would like to talk with you all.

I proposethat we meet for drinks in traditional bars, discussing the "Where we are going to?" and the "How to cope with it?".
