Everything with copper as a significant component is inflating rapidly. I don't think it has much to do with Euro health and environmental regulations.Just think. You make a resistor. Add up what you need. Then figure that your last shipment of copper was triple the price of a year ago. There's only so long you can hold out, wait for the commodity price to drop, before you have to raise your selling price. And if you have tried to wait it out (because you want to hold on to your customers) when you finally do give in, you have to relieve a lot of pressure on your own costs.
It's probably not over, either.
