I just found this in a manufacturing alert newsletter:
Wall Street Journal alleges terrorism concerns are used to ban chemicals.
The Wall Street Journal (3/28, A16, subscription required), in an editorial,
writes, "Democrats in Congress have packed $20 billion of pork into the Iraq
war spending bill, so why not lard on an all-politics solution to securing
the nation's chemical facilities. 'Toxic' chemicals, as aficionados of
endless political crusades know, have been a target of the environmental
left for decades. After 9/11, they saw an opportunity. They've argued that
the path to chemical security lies in requiring the industry to use
'inherently safer technologies.' Guess what 'inherently safer' means:
Banning some chemicals or requiring substitutes."

We can debate all the others but Chihuahuas is a must, if only to annoy

Thanks for pointing that out, Chris. I read the document and it looks
like the Commission realizes there are serious issues with RoHS. But it
also left open the possibility that more elements/compounds might be
restricted.
I'm guessing that the following might be under consideration for
restriction:
beryllium
Bisphenol A
decaBDE
PVC
brominated compounds in general
chlorinated compounds in general
chihuahuas

Hi All,
In a piece from the Commision on the review of 2002/95:
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/review_2002_95_ec_directi
ve.pdf
<http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/review_2002_95_ec_direct
ive.pdf>
I found the following text and link:
3. An additional study, managed by the Directorate General Enterprise
and Industry of the Commission, focusing on innovation and
competitiveness aspects of the WEEE and RoHS review is underway. A
description of the work of the project is available at:
http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/tor_study_rohs-weee.pdf
<http://ec.europa.eu/environment/waste/weee/pdf/tor_study_rohs-weee.pdf>
It looks like they might consider to take a look at the possibility of a
more practical approach.
