It does not say "Made in the EU" on your battery. The EU above the garbage 
can symbol just indicates that in the EU such batteries may not be thrown 
away with household waste.

The battery is a Chinese aftermarket battery. If someone sold it to you 
claiming that it was an original Leica battery, you have been cheated.
