Swedish withdrawal of Power Line Adapters

The latest issue of the EUROCOM newsletter has an item on the withdrawal by Sweden of polluting Power Line Adaptors (PLA).

The 05.01.2010 edition of the IARU Region 1 EUROCOM newsletter produced by Thilo Kootz DL9KCE says:

As most of you probably have noticed already, Sweden has withdrawn some PLT Modems of their market. The Swedish administration argued, that those PLT devices do not meet the protection provided by the harmonized standard and in many cases harmful interference could actually be measured. In those cases reception in accordance with ITU Regulation was no longer possible an therefore the essential requirements violated.

I would suggest to every member society to write a letter to their administration asking to follow the very good Swedish example. If you need help, please let me know.
