Subject: [SMART] Very useful RoHS review conference report

"Greening Consumer Electronics - from Hazardous Material to Sustainable
Solutions Conference" in the European Parliament held on 18 November 2009

Leading companies within the electronics sector sent strong message to EU
regulators at ChemSec Conference: Moving away from Brominated Flame
Retardants and PVC is possible, feasible and is already happening! The
question is not whether electrical and electronic equipment industry can
phase out these chemicals, but when, says Jill Evans, Member of the European
Parliament. (Rapporteur leading the drafting of recast amendments to RoHS)
