Hi

<---One snip from Paul's note that made me think to add the -->
<--- a note added below--->

<Manufacturers of medical devices and monitoring and control instruments,
<though exempt at present, will be considered for inclusion at that time.
<It may be prudent for organisations which fall into these categories to
<begin examining the effects these directives will have on their
<manufacturing operations.  It is widely recognised that deferred or
<exempt categories may be indirectly affected by this legislation as
<component manufacturers convert production lines to ‘green’.  That only
< leaves the age old problem of looming obsolescence to deal with!

Think about Medical Products that are consumer related,
or consumer throw-aways like the new hearing aid products
and some products related to female health/well-being. All
of these could easily fall under these Directives.
