Just received this from a reseller :
Apple is reportedly set to stop shipping its Mac Pro desktop in Europe over new regulatory standards.
According to a
report in 9to5Mac, Apple sent the following letter to its resellers in Europe:
"As of March 1, 2013, Apple will no longer sell Mac Pro in EU, EU candidate and EFTA countries because these systems are not compliant with Amendment 1 of regulation IEC 60950-1, Second Edition which becomes effective on this date. Apple resellers
can continue to sell any remaining inventory of Mac Pro after March 1. Apple will take final orders for Mac Pro from resellers up until February 18th for shipment before March 1 2013. Countries outside of the EU are not impacted and Mac Pro will continue
to be available in those areas."
As the report notes, Apple's decision only affects Europe, EU Candidates, and select surrounding nations (like the EFTA: Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Iceland, and Norway.), and Mac Pro sales will continue in all other regions.
Final orders for Mac Pro's need to be placed by February 18th 2013.
