Oh the irony of the European Commission investigating underhand and shady practices of a cartel within its premier member state whilst promoting those same practices within the Customs Union it applies to those who trade with it and within it. The fact that the Commissionars have been dragged kicking and screaming to this position by the US authorities who threaten to open up the whole can of worms isn’t surprising in the slightest.
Seems strange why drivers want race to the bottom under cutting stopped in the case of transport but not manufacturing. 
As for the US its economic and trade policies seem bonkers.IE happy to go along with a European type approval and duty regime which disadvantages if not totally stops US exports to Europe.Also happy to go along with economic policies which disproportionately benefit Germany when it suits it on one hand,then stitches up everyone including its own workers,either to benefit Germany or cheap race to the bottom Oriental imports.The latest example of economic suicide being Ford and GM effectively closing down the Australian car manufacturing industry to the benefit of GM Germany and obviously even more so the Oriental competition.The US government are a bunch of muppets that haven’t got a bleedin clue.
