Abstract
It is suggested that commitment to good EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) practice does not guide EMC policy. As with most things in business, sales volume and market share are the driving forces in any product decision. EMC is good business, if one considers the evolving European standards and the FCC requirements as necessary considerations for product sales. However, the author questions whether EMC can stand on its own or whether it must be imposed by legislative fiat. Ethical considerations in EMC are discussed together with the manufacturer´s obligation
