Asking the European Union to lower the bar to
accommodate  inferior "competitors" and to punish
Epson/Canon/HP for excellence and innovation is the
old-time bureaucratic thinking that contributed to the
collapse of the Soviet Union.  

Why the concern about Chinese-manufactured plastic
products? Ink's more important. 

Wouldn't it be better to ask consumer watchdog
agencies to punish companies that distribute
printer-damaging, clogging inks, and cartridges that
commonly fail, and CIS systems that damage print
heads, than to to penalize companies that make good
products?
