Friday 01 Apr 2005 – 10:15 The European Union has revealed it is to ban the sale and use of Apple Macintosh computers by 2006 – citing "the need for unification" in a directive unveiled today.
Directive EU01042005, which was passed during a late-night session in Brussels, will be adopted by all member countries on January 1, 2006, and prohibits the "sale, use, resale, leasing, and hire" of Apple Macs due to their lack of full compatibility with Windows computers, and the fact that no-one in the EU parliment can get a decent expenses package to wwork on them. The directive reckons that Apple’s "lack of floppy disk drive" is discriminatory to EU residents, and that the Apple logo doesn’t hail from the apple-growing regions of Southern France.
Apple iPods are excluded from the move — although they must be renamed EuPods — but Apple dealers across the EU angrily denounced the move. etc ……….
