The point I am trying to make is Americans see no need to use metric for
export and FFU for domestic. If it is their policy to use only FFU, they
will use for domestic and export. If it is their policy to use some metric
or all metric, they will use it in all instances. But, never will they use
one system for one market and another system for a different market. And
yes, the EU may complain, but the TABD has been ignoring their complaints
and fighting them on this policy for years, and up to now, the EU has always
backed down. Let's hope in 2010, the EU will be strong enough to say no.

If TABD is true to form, we can expect no action at all, and then, in the spring of 2009, another whining and pathetic statement from TABD about how they are still "not ready" and "need more time". The EU has to draw a line in the sand this time and say "Not again, not this time, not any more."
Sounds like one of my neighbors, who in our annual neighborhood meeting came up with another new excuse this year why a much-needed street light can't be installed at the curb by her house. Every year the prior excuse is shown to be invalid; every year she comes up with a new and different excuse.
