      What do you mean with fully banned in this example?

      Pretty sure here in Europe there are also still plenty of cases where you’re not forced to remove asbestos, like inaccessible old plumbing that’s embedded in the utility shafts of apartment blocks. So it’s also not fully banned here yet either, in that sense.

        Well it can’t be sold anymore, but if you have it in your house then it’s not illegal in any way

          It was still sold until recently? That’s pretty wild.

            No no, it got banned by the EU around 2000 and was already banned in many states befpre that
