The Commission has commented on this situation in their explanatory
document. A non-compliant product may remain in distribution virtually
forever if it entered distribution prior to the effective date.

        Hi Group, 

        A question has been asked of me regarding equipment that does not
comply with EN 61000-3-2. Our equipment does not comply today, there is
however a plan to introduce a new power supply to the product that does
comply. The new unit has been tested. Management does not want to spend the
money to implement this until necessary. (Same old story.) They have asked
me to find out if one of our European distributors buys some product and it
is in country before 12/31/00. What is the implications of them selling it
after the first of the year in that country or any other part of the EU.
