Outsourcing any function that needs software outside the EU.
- snowpid 3y agoMoving out your business out of EU is somehow a non solution.
- narag 3y agoI didn't say it's a solution.
- bluGill 3y agoIf you live in the EU it is hard to move. You have to find a country that will let you in. Most countries restrict immigration and so you are likely to only file a country that is dangerous to live in. You also leave your friends and extended family behind, which is difficult. That assumes it is your company to move in the first place. Which is unlikely. So add find a new job to the list of things you need to do.
- lars_francke 3y agoThe CRA still applies as soon as it is first brought onto the EU market. It might just be the distributor or importer having to do some things instead of the manufacturer.
- narag 3y agoI mean the software is never used inside the EU. The final product is built outside and later imported, so you don't know what software was used. An example: EU is approving very restrictive legislation about pesticides for use inside the EU but it happily allows importing food grown in other countries using the very same forbidden substances.

- FredPret 3y agoThis is the weirdest form of colonization. In bygone days, we had to accept European monarchs; now we have to live with the diktats of their bureaucrats.
- sgift 3y agoNo colonization happening. If you don't want to follow the CRA, then don't make a product that gets into the EU market. If you want in the EU market, you have to follow EUs rules.
- narag 3y agoMaybe you're misunderstanding what I said. Otherwise it would be ridiculous. If I buy a screw made in the USA, no EU authority can know what's the software used in the machine tool. They can control physical properties, packaging, information... but the process used is opaque.
- lars_francke 3y agoIf you import a product the CRA applies. And I personally think that's a good thing
