Nothing on earth is going to entice the Americans to stop using feet & inches, Pints & Gallons, Fahrenheit & Miles. The tree huggers in Europe wont accept American GM food which is better & cheaper than French & Italian produce & you certainly wont find any horses in a beefburger but that wont matter to the protectionist subsidy junkies that live off CAP to produce over priced food that adds nothing to peoples lives except shopping basket inflation

European leaders are very warm to the idea regarding Trans-Atlantic free trade, but sources suggest that an actual deal is most likely years away. According to President Obama, instituting a more efficient Trans-Atlantic free trade policy would lead to “millions of good-paying American careers.” The senators, who have not yet been identified, expressed concern that this would weaken U.S. regulatory standards and place intellectual property rights in danger.
