Let me see.

RoHS is one foot

EUP is two feet

REACH is 3 feet

Yup that would be about right - a 3 legged race is the best way to make
the
global economy stumble........

The interesting part is that these are actually very neat directives for
the
environment. I wonder why Europe is so scared of debate and peer
discussion
that it feels it must shove these initiatives down the throat of the
rest of
the World without a team collaboration??

Hummm, let's see, we shot one foot and it hurt a lot, I wonder what
happens if we shoot our other foot? Lets see, bullet goes in this hole,
right?...

OK, it's not Friday, but just read what they said...

 European Union Considers Passing Stricter Chemicals Law;  Major
Electronics Manufacturers Worldwide Express  Concern



  Jul 24,  2006



  The majority of countries with the largest electronics  manufacturers
outside of Europe are coming  together to amend proposed legislation
that could have a big impact on the  electronics industry outside of the
European Union (EU). The EU is considering  passing the Registration,
Evaluation, Authorization of Chemicals (REACH)  legislation. This
legislation would only allow chemicals that have been shown to  be safe,
or where the risks have been examined, to be used in equipment made in
or imported into Europe. And the law would  mandate full responsibility
onto the companies that create and use the chemicals  to provide the
REACH required paperwork, which could be a big added expense to
companies, especially electronics companies. The United States, Japan,
India, Korean, and nine other  countries have voiced their concerns
about REACH, and have expressed their  interest in working with the EU
to make the proposed legislation more feasible  for both sides.
