Miscellaneous International Trade Notices
In September 2007, the European Commission submitted a proposal to amend European Council Directive 80/181/EEC to, among other things, no longer require metric-only labeling by 2009 (as the current Directive requires) and to indefinitely allow the use of supplementary (non-metric) indications. (EC proposal (2007/0187 (COD), dated 09/10/07) available at http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/site/en/com/2007/com2007_0510en01.pdf)
