That's inaccurate. July 2011 is the date when conscription call-ups will end. Conscripts will stay in the forces for four to six more months.
Conscripts are a small minority in today's Bundeswehr anyway, employed in the least important jobs only.

Full steam back, the last conscripts will be called upon on 1 January, will leave in late July. Only conscripts who volunteered for a few more months will stay beyond that date, but then they're volunteers, obviously.
Some early reports were misleading and I assumed that the English source was a more likely candidate for a misunderstanding.
