Ezra,

Council means Council of Ministers, at least one from each Member State of the 
EU, perhaps more, I'm not sure.

Even if non-SI supplementary indications are permitted after the end of 2009, 
"legal" (primary) units are defined by the EU as units from the SI, and 
supplementary units are defined as non-SI units, that is, *secondary* units, 
meaning units in *second* place  It seams to me that a Member State would still 
have the authority to reject importation of products that do not place the SI 
indications in *first* place in documents and on labels, with supplementary 
indications, if any, in *second* place.

Gene.
