Ezra,

The Directive 80/181 *excluded* "supplementary indications" (i.e. inch-pound 
units) after 2010 Jan 1.

The Directive of 2009 made inch-pound units acceptable beyond 2010 Jan 1.

That required a *significant* change in the laws of the EU Member States called 
for not later than 2009 Dec 31.

It is these *new laws* that I'm looking for.

Gene.
