There is a transition regime applies. Before April 8, 2000, we knew what we should do....
Between April 8, 2000 and April 7, 2001, the transition regime applies and manufacturers can place on the market and put into service equipment which Case 1. complies with Directive 99/5/EC Case 2. complies with Directive 98/13/EC (for equipment within its scope) Case 3. complies with national regulations (for radio equipment, which don't fall within teh scope of Directive 98/13/EC). In Case 1 and Case 2, equipment can freeely move according to the provisions of the Directives. In Case 3, Articles 28 and 30 apply. As of April 8, 2001, ONLY Directive 99/5/EC applies.
