By the treaty ITALY signed they must both allow the importation and connection of equipment compliant to the TTE directive and marked with the CE crossed hockey sticks. The only valid reasons I can think of that they would hold up the process is if it is not marked properly or if a notified body has notified ITALY that the product is out of compliance. Any other reason they give you is properly not valid according to the treaty.

They OEM our card and are trying to get a system approved in Italy. Apparently, this is not an issue of importing into Italy but rather an issue for connecting to the network. Still unclear, Jack -----Original Message----- From: Dick Shultz [SMTP:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 26, 1998 4:30 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: BOUNCE [email protected]: Non-member submission from [Jack Murphy <[email protected]>] (fwd) Jack, I think this might be a political problem. What do you suppose would happen if the ISDN product were being imported into Italy from another EU country? I think the idea is that there are no barriers to trade within the EU and you can certainly import the board to the UK, France and elsewhere with no question. Alternatively, the board might pass with no problem if the shipper were your European company holding the approval rather than NetAccess, Salem, NH, USA.
