His comment's in there? Wow. I think the EU leadership should be lobbied
to use this labeling issue as a non-threatening (in the military sense) way
to resist the US. They are chafing against the US in general and the Bush
Administration in particular, and enforcing the labeling directive in 2009
with no further delays would be a way for the EU to assert itself without
looking like a bully ("You [the US] promised twice to work with us on this,
and both times you went back on your word. Why should we believe you a
third time?") -- Jason
