directive (Article 2, topic 3):

> "3. This Directive does not apply to spare parts for the repair, or

to the re-use, of electrical and electronic equipment put on the
market before 1 July 2006"

electronic equipment".

this is a really promising part of the directive.
it would be too bad if the cem/ssm-based modules
would vanish from the market.
maybe the above sentence is valid for the a100-modules
because the used cem/ssm chips were produced long
before 2006. well, lets hope for the best.
