China clamps down on electronic pollution

Xinhua is the Chinese government’s news agency – the official line of the country, so to speak.

It says via the People’s Daily newspaper that China is mimicking the EU’s move to impose more regulations on pollution.

China is expected to issue six more regulations in the second half of 2007 to tighten pollution controls on electronic products, according to the Ministry of Information Industry (MII).

The regulations will be issued in response to the European Union’s Energy Using Products (EUP) Directive that will officially take effect in August.
