It may not be on your radar, or Edwards', which is why nanne stresses that the EU needs to engage him early.

There are ongoing issues with European restrictions to the sale of GMOs. There will be issues with REACH. There is an arcane dispute on bananas at the WTO, which is absurd because neither the US nor the EU produce significant quantities of bananas. Also, the European Commission blames the US for the collapse of the Doha round negotiations at the WTO on the issue of agricultural subsidies.

Yes, but I'm speaking more to big-picture issues.I thought the implication before was that Edwards might get into a confrontation with the EU resulting in much higher tariffs, or something to that effect.  I was simply stating that there'd be little, and likely nothing, to gain from that politically, because there's no perception of Europe playing in an unfair way.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
