Thank you, although I must admit that having been up all night working on

John,
The use of the word legitimate in quotations was to emphasise that there are
exemptions in due process for consideration at this moment in the current
round of consultations. It was not intended as a comment on your application
for exemption and I apologise if it came over that way.
Best Regards
Allen

AS they say the truth will out.
On the subject of "exemption collapse" let's face it a directive which
needed a whole bunch of industry specific exemptions for lead-free solder
use is on fairly shaky ground to start with.....
I am merely using the system provided for public input by the stated end
dates of May 15th 2006 as may anyone on this list.
And I actually do not like the assumed "non legitimate application for
exemption" note.
I have merely provided supporting material which lets face it should have
been taken into account at the outset of the lawmaking process as "due
diligence"
Kind regards,
John

John,
I am politically neutral in this argument and these issues do need to be
aired albeit belatedly. However, people need to think carefully about
applying/supporting exemptions as this may result in the delaying of
"legitimate" applications for exemptions if not the collapse of the whole
exemption system.
