> Another indication of anti-metric action by the US industry is what the cosmetics industry is doing. Estee Lauder was at the front of the TABD campaign against metric-only labelling in the EU; secondly, this company and another US one, Donna Karan are attempting to make French speaking people accept the US fl. oz. On their products the contents are indicated in ifp in a prominent position, followed by metric. But they also give the contents in French in oz. liq. Once liquide, French for US fl.oz, for metric using people only. No French speaking territory on this earth demands the inclusion of ifp units on products. > 5 FL.OZ/OZ.LIQ/150 mL, that is what you can read on Estee Lauder and Donna Karan products. > BTW: The TABD is nothing but a conveyor belt of American demands to the EU. It has also succeeded in breaking a proposed ban on animal testing by the cosmetics industy in the EU. The threat of a trade war always lurks in the background as the US government supports the TABD. > > --------------------------------------------- > DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE BY EMAIL! > --------------------------------------------- > You have chosen to receive messages from "Metric America" by email. > > Reply to this message: > http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/metricamerica/bbsfrp?action=r&tid=metricamerica &sid=12177109&mid=1107 > > Unsubscribe from the Club mailing list: > http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/metricamerica/config/change_mb_list > > Return to "Metric America": > http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/metricamerica > ---------------------------------------------- > > Not a member?
