Protecting Your Interests: Calls to Action

摘要

2009 proved to be a challenging year for all facets of the electronics industry, including your trade association, IPC. However difficult, progress was made, and will continue to be made, but not without your help. Please join IPC in our efforts to continue to protect your interests in the recast of the EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive and in strengthening the North American PCB industry.rnJust as reports of the end of the recession were taking root, the glimmer of a brighter new year was shadowed by a couple of unexpected announcements. In November, Member of European Parliament (MEP) Jill Evans (Green Party) hosted a workshop in Parliament on revising the RoHS Directive. The workshop was produced by and featured the positions of the environmental non-governmental organization (NGO), ChemSec with the assistance of Clean Production Action, and surprisingly, Apple and Sony Ericsson.
