    No idea what this actually means, if it means easier trade, I'm all for anything that reduces our dependency on the yanks, as long as we don't need to be involved in their regulatory or legal regimes. The Americans are no longer our friends, Salut, mes amis Européens. :)

      EU has such a bad name in these circles. As a EU citizen, I cherish these same regimes.

        Yup. Oh no, my meat isn't pumped full of hormones and vacuums aren't allowed to be hearing-damagingly loud. The horror..

        Also re: OP, yes if you want to sell stuff in the EU, you will need to adhere to the same rules as EU companies.
