PRESS RELEASE
1 April 2010
From: Office of the President of the European Union Parliament
To: Those concerned
For Broad Public Issue (BPI)
Subject: All RoHS Directives
All RoHS Directives are hereby repealed.
It has been discovered that these (RoHS) regulations were without
scientific merit and actually destructive to the environment, rather
than supportive and protective of it, as we had originally intended.
We admit that we were misled by certain radical-fringe environmental
groups, who, masquerading as scientists, furnished our legislative
representatives with False Data. We did not properly investigate and
ask for substantiation of the information furnished, as was our
responsibility as elected representatives of our constituents and
members of the World Community of Mankind.
We are willing to take responsibility for the consequences of our
actions.
Any individual, business or National entity who believes they have
been damaged by the enforced waste of human resources and excess costs
fo compliance with the former ROHS regulations and all material losses
attendant thereto, including specifically equipment and systems
failures due to tin whiskers and brittle lead-free solder joints, is
entitled to enter a claim for reparations. Damages may be ascertained
by attestation under oath, and will be taken at face value.
Our preliminary calculations show that the United States of America
alone is entitled to reparations of no less than fifty billion U. S.
Dollars, and we accept worldwide responsibility with no upper limit.
The reparations will be funded by an income tax surcharge on all
radical-fringe environmentalist-group-members in perpetuity.
