From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Powell, Doug Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 10:53 AM To: Barker, Neil; [email protected] Subject: RE: RoHS-like legislation in Australia and New Zealand All, I did a quick search on Google and found a wide number of articles all making the statement "Taiwan, Korea, Canada, and Australia are initiating versions of the RoHS directive." This disturbing bit is that none of these articles cite references for the statement and all seem to quote everyone else, verbatim! This is beginning to look a little like an urban legend. Being from the "show-me" state, I would like to know who authored this and is the source of information reliable. I anyone able to help?
