I hope they give EU the finger...
EU - Mafia
I like it ;)
I'd like to give the clown that decided to tax Thai prawn 97% the finger!
Exactly! This is extortion and blackmail on an international level. Is Sicily in the EU?
Dah, hey! You wanna make dis easy or should I like oughta chase youse around da room a little?
By joining the EU countries have given up all thoughts of Sovereignty and have made themselves slaves to France and germany the real rulers of the EU. The EU is really Vichy France 2005 style.
so they can use the 380's to fly the shrimps to EU...............?
I wonder how the EU would like it if we told every country,
"Buy Boeing aircraft or face American tariffs"?
this just figures...
I figure the EU will continue to embarrass itself as long as it exists...mainly because it takes it's marching orders from the frogs....
I have heard of jumbo shrimp, I have even heard of shrimp gumbo....but I have never heard of shrimp for jumbo.
The EU is well positioned to in time act more and more brutal to "outsiders" like this. In essence the serve as a proxy for EU members for such transparent agressive acts so they can individually maintain the appearance of clean hands.
>Doesn't the Mafia do similar things? Buy my fire insurance so you won't have a fire........
Always picking on us Italians....
Take that Kofi! They'll get their tsunami aid back with interest.

That's what we should do. Free market my ass. Can't wait until the first A-380 falls apart in the air. Remember the first A-300. The French managed to crash it into a forest on one of its demonstration flights near a Paris airport.
Of course, our entire domestic shrimp industry would dissapear in 90 days if we didn't.

But the tariffs are already there. Buying the planes gives them an opportunity to get the tariffs lifted. Sounds fair to me. According to this article the U.S. has even higher tariffs on the prawns and gives them no opportunity to get them lifted.
It's a big sign that the sales of their new planes are a disaster.
The EU is going to implode. They have deep divisions of everything, especially in cultures.
But we aren't telling Thailand to buy something from us or else. We just hit them with 97% tariff to protect our flailing shrimp fishing industry.......
