...understandably, want to open up world markets for their own industry and farmers. Since their tariff walls are already generally lower than the U.S.'s, they reject a flat cut that would only perpetuate the disparities, prefer instead a selective approach that would make progress to ward equalizing all trade barriers. Further complicating the talks is the failure of the Eurocrats to set a Common Market farm pricing policy, without which it is impossible to discuss agricultural tariffs-an issue vital to the U.S. be cause it sends $1.2 billion worth of farm exports to Europe yearly...
