Druing May of the year 2010, the French Senate banned the "manufacturing, exporting, or selling" of baby bottles made with BPA.  In April 2010, the French Food Safety Agency (AFSSA) suggested that systematic labels should be used on products containing BPA. This information was provided at Food Safety News.

Germany:
On June 9th 2010, the Umweltbundesamt or UBA (German Federal Environment Agency) recommended limiting the use of BPA in products.
