I have been written to by the Oko institute in connection with  my exemption
request #15



They basically want to know how much lead in solder is used in Europe in
conventional solder. (Don't they know??)



I had a response from a leading member of the International Research
Association of the "other" material used in solder telling me to contact the
lead association for the data - hilarious.



Anyway, I believe I have a number for the amount of solder used globally
from  a creditable source, what I need now is a SWAG on the percentage of
electronics used (note used not made!) in Europe versus the rest of the
world so I can give the Oko institute the data they have requested.



Help please, I have until Friday to come up with the data
