UEFA is set to take tougher measures to deal with the growing problem of simulation by players. HERE (http://www.uefa.com/uefa/news/Kind=8192/newsId=253672.html)

The first step is to stop calling it "simulation" and start calling it what it is "faking a foul".
BTW, Italy is probably the only one in danger since this article was posted by UEFA.

Besides, "simulating action" (the words in L12 D5) involves more than just faking fouls. The foul might be real; the simulation might be to embellish it to make it look like the opponent deserved a card.
