Oh so the company that refurbishes antique mercury-based scientific
instruments didn't have to close its operation because the EU banned the
sale of these instruments, then?
Do you have a source for that? The 2007 press
release I've found says antiques are exmpted:
http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/...070706IPR08897
Is there a more recent ban?
No, there isn't
the exception applies to items sold in their current state of working-ness
(sorry can't find a real word for that)
once they go wrong the rules forbid the mechanise from being repaired using
historic components, they have to be left not working or repaired with a
non-mercury based device.
who the hell wants the latter in an antique device?
There are plenty of antique items which collectors are happy to
possess without using them for their original purpose. Do ****pot
collectors usually insist on using their treasures ? Do collectors of
Maori warclubs moan because they can't go down the high street and
**** the locals with them ?
LOL
