Re: A european question : RoHS

Hello Graham,

Nice of them to research stuff after making it law !

Nothing new in Europe. In Germany they started to make it nearly impossible to hire people for those part-time flat-tax jobs, probably to squeeze out more taxes. So the jobs simply vanished. Afterwards unemployment really shot up. Duh. But we do that, too. In California they absolutely had to have oxygenated gasoline. So they mixed MTBE into it. This lowered the gas mileage by at least 10% (I get 25mpg on CA gas and 28mpg on NV gas) but the whopper was the serious environmental damage caused by seepage into ground water. Once it's there it's too late.

Asian manufacturers have figured out the lead-free assy scheme to a large extent. But what surprises me is that the EU parliament or whoever is responsible for these hip shot laws doesn't provide a hands-on "how to" guide along with the law.

Regards, Joerg
