I'm a citizen of Germany (and consider myself to be Eu-Citizen as well) and I'm in favor of a trade agreement. Of course you have to debate about certain points but I would personally live in the US or in Europe and would e.G. accept both food regulations. I think there are many people in the US and in Europe with a similar mindset.
- allendoerfer 11y agoI think so, too. My concern is that regulation can not advance because it would brake the treaty by losing the unification of standards. The EU can not agree with Washington either, because it is not responsible in most cases. My understanding is, that the EU and the US are organized in the direct opposite way: In the US, Washington is responsible for the military and so on while every state has its own laws for protecting the environment or license plates and stuff like this. The EU tries to agree on standards for these things and has very limited rights in topics like foreign policies. And I would hate to lose in a secret court against Phillip Morris.
- tomelders 11y agoGenuine question: what trade agreements do we already have in place? Im not clear on what's wrong with the way things are right now.
