Duh I have not long got the exemtion for one of my shops, now it seems its all about to change.
Below I have highlighted a part taken from the link below.
Am I being thick as I just do not understand it.
Does it mean if you sell vintage clothing collectables that have no barcodes Manufacturing numbers etc you are now stuffed?.
With no hopes of getting any sales.

3. Exemptions
When there is no unique product identifier for an item, provide this information explicitly in your feed by specifying the ‘identifier exists’ attribute for that item. When an identifier exists for the item but you do not have it, it is important to add the correct identifier to your feed rather than using the ‘identifier exists’ attribute.
Previous Exemptions For accounts that are currently exempted from requiring unique product identifiers, Google Shopping will start enforcing these new requirements for unique product identifiers on July 15th, 2013 in the US, and September 16th, 2013 in all other target countries. Enforcement for all other accounts will start July 15th, 2013 for the US, France, Germany and the United Kingdom, and September 16th, 2013 for all other target countries. Non-compliant items might then be disapproved and disappear from Google Shopping.
Account level exemptions for unique product identifiers won’t be supported after the above mentioned dates – the 'identifier exists' attribute should be used instead.
