Nick, Not the Commission per se. The point was mentioned in a public consultation document put out by Oeko Institut (I assume at the direction of the Commission), link provided below, and "offending" paragraph as follows
" As a consequence of the current wording, non-compliant products that have been placed on the market3 between January 2013 and July 2019, are not allowed any secondary market operations after 22 July 2019." http://rohs.exemptions.oeko.info/fileadmin/user_upload/RoHS_IA_2_2/Products_newly_in_scope/Questionnaire_Products_newly_in_scope_final.pdf There is a broader interpretation of this that has been expressed by UK NMO. Ref the slide deck posted at http://www.aham.org/ht/a/GetDocumentAction/i/61298 Which includes "Article 2.2 uses the term "make available" and not "place on the market". Non-compliant EEE on the market cannot continue to be distributed after 22 July 2019." Hope that helps....
