You forgot to describe the circumstances. I know many (in the electronics

You're not kidding.

The forthcoming legislation from the ROHSS Directive is turning out to
be quite a pain in the bum.

There are ifs buts and maybes all over the place, plus exemptions if a
product is a "server", used in telecomms or network management. Total
mess.

That's before the even bigger mess of the WEEE directive on recycling
where the government is in complete disarray and likely to fall foul
of time limits issued by Brussels for having everything in place.
