we assume real and flavour blind soft terms, namely in eq. (\[sleptonm2\]), m\^2\_[LL]{} = m\^2\_[RR]{} = 02 i3    ,     A\_e = y\_e a\_0     , with real $a_0$, $m_0$ and $\mu$ term. In the next sections we separately study the FC and FV contributions to $d_i$ and obtain explicit approximate expressions for ${\cal I}m(A_{i i})$ and the products of $\d$’s in (\[FV\]). The effects of a more general family independence assumption are important but not crucial and can be easily included in our analysis. By means of these general approximated expressions we will:\
i) derive the upper prediction for the radiatively induced leptonic EDMs, stressing the model dependences;\
ii) compare it with the experimental limits;\
iii) when allowed by the experiment, obtain an upper bound on the imaginary part of the relevant combination of Yukawa couplings.

A couple of preliminary considerations are in order before presenting the results of the next sections.

On the naive scaling relation
-----------------------------

In the limit that all slepton masses are family independent, the FV contribution vanishes and the FC one is proportional to the mass of the $i-$th lepton (${\cal I}m (A_{ii}) v_d \approx {\cal I}m (a_0) m_{i}$) leading, except an accidental cancellation [^5] with
