I don't want to comment on the import itself - have done so in the past, 
nothing really to add - except maybe that i looked for documentation of 
the mentioned UK Shell stations import on the wiki or an entry in the 
import catalogue - both of which are required by the import guidelines 
and neither of which seems to exist (and neither for this import 
apparently).

The import guidelines also clearly state that

"You must not import the data without local buy-in"

which leads me to conclude that for a multi-country import you have to 
consult with each of the local communities affected individually.

The local communities need to have the right to object to the import or 
to have specific local conventions regarding tagging that the import 
needs to follow in their domain.  Local mappers must not be required to 
write here in English to ask questions and raise concens about local 
aspects to be heard.
