It's their job to be eurocrats. I sure didn't elect them!

It is crap, but it's also crap we cant seem to escape. It's a
rollercoaster trip with more downhills, and does no good whatsoever for
small bunsiness's.

I got out of the home computer business (you know the stuff before pc's
took off!) when the EMC directives came into force. the small guys just
couldnt afford to develop gear and have it tested. It's all just as
well as it timed rather well with the affordable pc's taking over.

But it does none the less affect the home cnc guys in europe directly.
Most of the gear coming from the small guy manufacturers in the USA
already infringes decade old euro directives. This may tell us that
it's not inforcable after all. But only time will tell.

I'm sure when the 1st person to have imported CNC gear seized by Customs
we'll know about it.
