That’s kinda what’s going on. They’re pulling the FCC logo and making it illegal to resell without authorization. Hopefully, (but not assuredly) part of that authorization will be to make sure they comply with security.

Though I’m absolutely certain those ‘agreements’ cost a pretty penny and it’s lining someone’s pocket as well.

Ah but the C€ don’t require you to manufacture some or all parts in the country though, or to pay a fee for the courtesy of dodging the law

  pay a fee for the courtesy of dodging the law
  
  Not that i’d be suprised for it to be so, but conditional approval doesn’t automatically mean pay a fee and we don’t check.
