Hello, I am trying to find out if any recent laws have been passed anywhere in Europe regarding the use of superlatives when describing products being sold there. Someone was recently told that they would need to change the phrasing currently used in American materials which describe products, due to the use of words like "...the best way to..." or "...the easiest...", because these terms could not be used in Europe. Can anyone help clarify what new legalities might be in place? Thanks. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Suzanne Topping Localization Unlimited (Localization Process Improvement, Consulting, and Training) 28 Ericsson Street Rochester, New York, 14610-1705 USA Phone: 716-473-0791 Fax: 716-231-2013 Email: stopping@rochester.rr.com
