I could be more precise most certainly, but this is a discussion I have had many times before on many forums. To be brutally honest its a massive time sink. One I honestly cannot afford today, and more to the point is it really worth it to educate one forum member on a painfully obvious point. Which is governments are prone to corruption, or more specifically to aiding and abetting unfair trade practices on behalf of their citizens.

I suppose if your sincerely interested into what I am alluding to. Beyond the obvious Google searches. I think you will find the most devious practices in the laws governing standards. Basically you can word the standards to prevent the products of one region as compared to another even though the products are virtually identical. You can mandate minimum sizes, shading, curvature, and so forth. None of which actually effect the quality of product. Though that five percent difference in curvature can ensure that American exporters in Brazil cannot bring their product to market, while Dutch exporters in Indonesia can.

That is where you will be able to follow the unabated corruption. Just find some convoluted standards laws, and figure out who benefits most from them. From there you can follow the wheel greasing. Be warned your going to be disgusted if you go this far. You really cannot be naive at this point. Then you will see why some people will have such views on the European Union.

Honestly I know all governments are corrupt, or at least corrupted. Though they are also pretty good at keeping shit convoluted so by all means go wandering through the catalogs of numbers and numbers of numbers.
