Lesson Eight Part One Trading standards

What makes trading between rich countries difficult?

Chickens slaughtered in the United States, claim officials in Brussels, are not fit to grace European tables. No, say the Americans, our fowl are fine, we simply clean them in a different way. These day, it is differeces in national ragulations , far more than tariffs, that put sand in the wheels of trade between rich coutries. It is not just farmers who are complaining. An electric razor that meets the European Union's safety standards must be approved by American testers before it can be sold in the United States, and an American made dialysis machine needs the EU's ok before it hits the market in Europe. As it happened, a razor that is safe in Europe, is unlikely to electrocute Americans. So ask businesses on both sides of the Atlantic, why had two lots of tests where one would do?
