> EU's protectionism

What exactly is the EU protectionism in this context? It's not like member states are just coming up with laws specifically to draw fine revenue out of American companies and to prop up local competitors.

It's a cultural clash between American (and other nation's) companies pushing the envelope of a capitalism in a more socialist regulatory market.



I think he's saying that it isn't the specific laws, but the selective enforcement thereof.


Par for the course. Monsento was immune in the US... until it got bought by Bayer


Or Monsento's previous owners/shareholders saw the writing on the wall and offloaded it at the ideal (for them) time.
