Wow ! That's very restrictive, although I understand the reasoning, but when, like the UK you're a nett importer we could be quite seriously penalised by a law like that. Don't they slag the US off for protectionism ? (Not that I care, I'm no fan of theirs)
Does the EU overall produce everything we need, not luxury stuff, just essentials ? Sorry if thats a big question, but I'm having my eyes opened here.
I tend to get isolated in my little corner, and to save my blood pressure I try to ignore whatever the politicians say (whatever party), I don't watch TV or listen to the radio, nor do I read newspapers. The internet has taken over as my information provider, although I do remember to take it all with a very large pinch of salt. With a third party coming along to maybe replace the whigs, I've found an interest in the EU springing up (against my better judgement probably).
This country doesn't appear to be getting much of a benefit from being a member of the EU, at least thats what I seem to understand so far.
