German government regulations ??

Sorry, either someone at Leica has his head up his ass, or they are  
just giving you a story. There are no government regulations to this  
effect in the EU. It may be some idiotic policy within Leica, and  
they are then hiding behind some lame excuse. Worse, they are lying  
to you.
