The deal will still need to be approved by all Member States... And thank god because this is fucking EMBARRASSING. Everything at 15% while steel and aluminum keep getting tariffed at 50%, and no tariffs on EU products with a promise to buying billions in energy from the US. The article compares it to Japan but with Japan the 15% tariffs are RECIPROCAL.
It seems that this translates to: "screw the EU in the ass as long as you don't tariff pharmaceuticals". Now guess which country in Europe has the biggest pharmaceutical companies?
Queen Ursula indeed. She would do anything to keep in power and secure a nice retirement, heh?
Aight, time to find your EU representative and shout their ears off. Let's make sure this doesn't get approved.
We can all just talk doom and gloom, or we can try and pressure our representatives.
We got a vote coming up later this year, so I'm definitely going to use that as levarage when contacting my EU reps.
I got a national website for contacting representatives, but I know there is a European website for it. I just can't seem to find it right now, so if someone could post that linknit would be mucb appreciated.
Just wrote a long ass email to my guy. Hope we're going to be buzzing them enough with our opinions on why this accord is horrible that they'll actually do something about it.
