Comfort yourself with the knowledge the bureaucrats will have to do the same... Oh no - they'll use our tax money to do it - weep with those that weep. Have a good weekend all Phil. -----Original Message----- From: Ingemar Hernefjord [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 18 November 2005 15:32 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] EU Lead hysteria *** WARNING *** This mail has originated outside your organization, either from an external partner or the Global Internet. Keep this in mind if you answer this message. Visited my car service man today for shifting from summer to winter wheels. He told me something that I don't whether to laugh at or cry. The small Lead balance bits which are fitted on the wheel must not be made of Lead anymore, the service man has to use a special zinc alloy instead. Old packages with some 100 pcs use to cost some 10 dollars, the new set costs 250 dollars! He cried because he has to take that money from the customer. The old bits are always removed from scrap wheels, gathered in a box and sent regularly to a destruction company, who melts the Lead for use as divers belts and other purposes, i.e. they are recirculated and are not poisoning the nature. I think they go to far those EU bureaucrats..
