This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

It's not clear what action you would like the Government to take on this issue.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what action you would like to be taken. It would also be helpful if you could explain how you think "misuse" of A and E should be defined.
