    It means you are losing market share

      And if they don’t comply with EU regulations they will lose even more market share.

      Maybe. It depends on if the market is growing or shrinking.

        The market is growing outside the EU.

          Ok. The subject here is the EU.

            The subject is smartphone manufacturers ignoring EU rules

              Yes. Growth in Europe isn’t the only metric that matters to smartphone manufacturers because they are still making money on the sales they make in Europe even if they aren’t growing in the market.

                That’s because there is no growth in Europe

                  Ok, if that’s the case. Mobile phone companies still care about sales in the region.

                    They’ll eventually comply. I suspect only on new models. I’m guessing they’ll try and find a war around it
