I am all in favour of the CE rules and CE mark system, It's just a pity that in many EU member states market surveillance and enforcement is lax (& under-resourced) as this allows the unscrupulous manufacturers to get away with cutting corners to the detriment of consumers (& radio amateurs) and hurts companies that invest the engineering time and resources to ensure that their products are compliant with the safety and EMC requirements
I am glad that magellan do things right, I have seen (serous) issues with strong interference to marine VHF by some marine chart plotter products produced by another prominent North American Company. Marine VHF is of course FM and as a result most users won't notice the problem that is rendering their VHF 'deaf' when the plotter is on..
