Gary Nevison, Premier Farnell.
ENGLAND: At the Environmental Council meeting on 20 December the Council did not approve the RoHS recast text voted through by the European Parliament on 24 November due to translation problems.
The Council will therefore officially adopt the text early in 2011 at one of the first meetings under the new EU presidency.
Hungary and Poland, who joined the EU in 2004, will assume the presidency during 2011 with Hungary taking the first half of the year.

TAIWAN & CHINA: Since MOCVD subsidy policy was primarily implemented by the Yangzhou Municipal Government, several other local Chinese governments followed suit and a rush of investing LED Epi wafer plants occurred in China.
However, when will the rush of MOCVD fiscal subsidy policy fade away? LEDinside was honored to have an opportunity to visit the Director of Yangzhou Merchants Bureau, Sun, Xiao-Jun. Sun indicated that it is impossible to offer this fiscal subsidy indefinitely, and subsidy policy of Yangzhou will end in July 2011. Furthermore, most local governments in China are considering whether they will follow suit.
Yangzhou Economic Development Zone was established in 1992 and has been aggressively developing the green energy industry, which focused primarily in solar energy, smart grid, and SSL industries in recent years.
