Tit for tat

Quote:

The decision by a panel of the World Trade Organization is a victory for U.S. companies such as Kraft Foods Inc., General Mills Inc. and Anheuser-Busch Cos. Inc., which face limits on the trademarked and generic names they can use in Europe as a result of the EU system of ``geographic indication.''

So another load of money wasted on this whole complaint that was designed not to help the consumer, but to protect certain EU members self interests. Sooner or later these complaints are going to get out of hand. Stop the planet, I want to get off!
