Right, if that is convincing enough to Bruxelles you will see 
even more refill preventions appear on inkjet carts in Europe. 
There has been a huge misunderstanding that in Europe consumer 
protection is better organised. The grass may be greener here 
but for the rest ..........

I have been reading some legal issues about chipped carts and 
import tax at European borders.  Whether chipped carts can be 
considered being a printer part or a consumable. A 
demonstration in front of a committee that shows a printer not 
starting up when the last chipped cart isn't inserted. 
Conclusion: it is part of the printer so a 0% import tax 
instead of 6% import tax should be applied. That level of 
legislation is happening.

Met vriendelijke groeten,Ernst
