Nowhere did I state the US should be part of the EU, I will say it again
If one country A wants to export products to country B then country A has to build product to the rules and regs of country B
This is normal practice - or is it when you go to buy a telly, you would be happy to buy a PAL system TV?
I also said Russia would probably not want to be part of the EU as it feels strong enough it doesn't have to it, for me I can never see Russia joining
Elliot I cannot make it any clearer than this, even my 8year old daughter understands, so if you don't get the concept of export import business, then ask your 9 year old son :)
