Hi Folks
In response to John's comment/question, the answer could well be that the
Commission and it's national enforcing authorities do not want to be faced
with the possibility of having chase 2(or even 3 or more under a multiple
branding situation) companies over a non-compliance/safety situation. Thus -
as far as Directives compliance is concerned - they want only 1 company to
take the responsibility for each product.

Can you think of any justification at all for *banning* 'effecting' by
both? It seems not sensible to me. I doubt that they would both WANT to
do it, but that is beside the point.
