For what it’s worth, to me it’s very difficult to understand your comment; I have no idea what UE or ROHS means.

- nix23 5y agoUE = United Emirates you can google the rest ;)
- ask_b123 5y agoYou might already know (judging by the ;)), but here UE definitely refers to the European Union.
- pcstl 5y agoUE = Union Europea, or Unione Europea, or Union Européenne, or União Europeia i.e. European Union using the Romance language acronym RoHS = Restriction of Hazardous Substances, a directive that restricts the materials that can be used in electronic devices, forbidding manufacturers from using many known toxic materials. Initially adopted in the EU but then globally due to the necessity of exporting to the EU.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoYeah and the US here is referred to as EEUU (Estados Unidos, in Spanish plural acronyms get their letters doubled). It would throw me off a bit at first but I got used to it quickly. Same as with driving on the other side when I moved over from Ireland :)
- arlort 5y agoIn romance languages (and possibly others) the order of adjectives/nouns is reversed compared to english, in those languages European Union gets abbreviated to UE (instead of EU), the comment is probably by someone who uses one such language natively It's kinda hard to notice because it's so short and similar, I hadn't noticed myself until I read your comment. ROHS is the acronym for a 2002 EU law called "Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Substances_Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restriction_of_Hazardous_Subst...
