Re: Regarding this point (none / 0)
The US and EU champions "free trade" with our rules to protect our advantage (also known as TRIPS) in the information and knowledge intensive sectors. If it can be done with the agricultural sector (patented GMO crops), then there will be "free trade" in that area too.

It is the subsidies (none / 1)
in the US and EU, that are unfair.

Re: It is the subsidies (4.00 / 2)
Of course they are. EU and US promotes unfair trade - that is, trade that is advantageos to EU and US - in all sectors. It is just a bit harder to do in the agricultural sector and still promote it as "free trade", so it ends up glaring obvious.
