@WoW - You should have been worried by me a LONG time ago.
@esmoreit - With the amount of outsourcing going on compounded with job cuts in the US, the law makes sense, trying to keep jobs in the US and trying to improve US-based businesses. As you say, if the EU was to protect chemical interests/manuacturing, it would then make US owned chemical manufacturers seem a more viable option.
Trust me, I understand that free trade is a good thing overall, as there's less cost involved. But how can consumers buy goods if they don't have jobs? The US unemployment situation hasn't been this bad in ages, I believe it was said, since WWII. That's a LOT of progress undone. As the saying goes, drastic times call for drastic measures
