european tariffs

this doesn't article is not directly about my country which is why i put two up, but it does deal with free trade in Europe which is always pretty interesting.
despite its proclomations to support free-trade, many european states still have heavy barriers against free trade in their countries. countries are trying to open their economies up fully, though some this could open them up to health risks and domestic agricultural problems. this is an interesting article which talks about the issue and the politics behind it. you can really see a real world example of what it is like to really open the world up to free-trade and who thinks what about it.
hope you read and enjoy! martin d
