I would like to acknowledge that contrary to the letter linked to Medela 
have marketed their bottles and teats in ways that breach the Code outside 
of the US and Canada; saw marketing materials myself here in Australia, 
heard of reports from the Middle East. Where else? Since the marketing 
materials I saw in Australia had been originally written in Europe I can 
only assume that they were also distributed there. Anyone else like to add 
more locations. When spin contains one inaccuracy you might to wonder what 
other "problematic statements" are contained within.
I'd like to answer the question posed by Michael Larsson's, that was not 
answered in his statement "Is  WHO Code compliance enough to effectively 
promote breastfeeding?"....No, of course not, but one cannot promote 
breastfeeding effectively without Code compliance.
