Very Yes Minister in an EU kind of way.

Seems perfectly logical to me. It can be imported and used with the
warnings. But not imported for re-sale within the EU.

It's probably the same as many of the power tools etc that Lidl sell. They
appear to come from Germany - but I doubt they are totally made in German
factories. So commissioned by a German firm who are then responsible for
making sure they comply and so on. Not so different from incorporating
electronic components from the far east in something which *is* made in
the EU.
