:(. Sad. I was hoping the Europeans would stick to their guns and force it
through. I guess all we can hope for is NAM cooperating. Was there a real
deal where NAM would allow metric only labels if the EU dropped their bid?

Although this is not the best news, it does give us hope that now, in
return, NAM (National Association of Manufacturers) will follow through in
supporting the metric-only amendment to the FPLA as they were bargaining
for, if the EU would allow imperial measures to continue.  The two actions
sounded (to me) a bit contradictory, but that's what industry was bargaining
for.
