Can someone please put this in layman s terms for me?
Roy has been running a local toy store for the last 35 years. He has been selling toy fire engines which he imported from France. These were made by a family run business in France, which is no longer operating. Roy still has a stock of 100 of these engines which were in compliance with Directive 88/378/EEC but he has no technical drawings and they are not marked with the European toy safety standard. Roy was told on January 10th 2010 by the local Trading Standards officer that he could no longer sell these toys from January 2010 onwards. Roy was told that this was on the basis of Directive 2009/48/EC (The Safety of Toys) which Member States were required to comply with by 20th January 2011. A UK Statutory instrument complying with the Directive was introduced in 2011 and came into force on the 19th of August 2011 (Consumer Protection: The Toys (Safety) Regulations 2011 (No. 1881).

Roy was told he can't sell these toys after January 2010 because of Directive 2009/48/4c (a government regulation). But ... a UK Statutory instrument that satisfied the Directive was passed August 19, 2011 so he can go ahead and sell the toys now (as of 8/19/2011).
