For me, the 2 most important things in the EU are:
No. 1 My absolute freedom to travel and settle in the Schengen area
No. 2 The safety and quality of our food, no matter where I live in the EU.
I don’t have as many middle fingers as I would like to show these pretentious idiots.
Food in the EU already became horrendous over the decades let’s not make it even worse.
Good. And I hope the UK does the same.
If the USA wants to sell agricultural products here, then they should also adhere to the standards that apply here.
After all, they also expect the US standards to be met for all products sold there.
It’s as simple as that. No rocket science…
I wish we could make sure that the shitchickens doesn’t get sold to UK.
They should keep this stance on other topics too.
Laws on privacy like GDPR, customer protections, laws and programs against discrimination, etc.
Not one step back on the things that make Europe the beat place to live in the world.
‘the EU might be willing to make concessions on non-sensitive agriculture and food standards’
The answer is NO!
1) I consider myself pretty well informed but had no idea we dunked chicken in chlorine treated water, when I saw Brits talking about it during Brexit I assumed it was just the usual yank jabbing banter.
2) I don’t know why Trump has such a hard on for exporting chicken, EU negotiators should just inform him that 80% of chicken processing plants are staffed by illegal immigrants to get him to drop it. Even if the EU agrees their labeling requirements will insure no consumer will buy it so it’s a useless hill to die on.
The US: “Europe should be more independent from America”
Also the US: “Adopt our poor food standards, our polices regarding DEI and immigration and do what we tell you on trade and foreign policy. Oh and give us eggs plz”

We’ll know who is on the payroll when we see journalists or politicians saying “US food is not that bad”
The civilized world needs to leave the US behind.
Dear US; you don’t get to have a say in other country’s food laws and fuck you and your shit food for trying.
I really hope the UK maintains some sort of stance too…
With all the divide in the country let’s make sure we don’t become stuffed with American product as well 😂
Local chippy and Greggs all the way to Fortnum and Mason > US neocolonialism
Why US has substandard food i don’t know. Just follow our regulation and we would buy your produce. Even if it was accepted not one European would buy that nasty shit until you have done so anyway
Read this while listening to a debate with someone claiming that Europe needs to bow down and buy more beef products from the US. I’m very happy to make that guy disappointed by the EU not bowing to those demands. If the US wants to sell their stuff here then they need to follow our rules.
Well, one thing is for certain: the Orange Nazi accomplished something that no European leader has done in in countless centuries. He managed to unify Europe. Not only on a political level but on the level of European people itself.
We have to give the US credit for that.
Anyone who has ever had a glass of American milk will know why this is important.
“Negotiators from the EU are still trying to scope out exactly what concessions the US administration is seeking, as part of any deal to suspend tariffs.”
Of course they know as well as I do what the US admin seeks. Individual public apologies and tongue baths from each and every EU head of state, no restrictions on any US good or service, acceptance of any/all US restrictions on EU goods/services, and regular cash payments to the US for both “services rendered” and future considerations. Oh, and the end to Russia sanctions (but can’t buy their gas).
Sussing out *this* administrations wishes isn’t rocket surgery.
I wish we had the same high food standards as Germany. Their food is super healthy and our food is contaminated with 40% more sugar than what it was in the 1970s and 1980s.
Also the human body doesn’t know how to digest the preservatives and flavor additives in our food and stores it as fat as a result.
That’s why everyone is fat and sick.
Good. We don’t want to be intoxicated with USA bleach.
Search spaghetti meat chicken to see the nice US quality chicken on top of that they are so bacterially haunted that they need to be bathed in literal bleach and they really think we would want that shit here?
American food is absolute poison. Even our organic food is shit compared to the EUs.
Murica cant say nothing about food standards to eu, its just the humming of greed and profit that whines here
EU manufacturing will probably be picking up a lot of sales lost by US manufacturing due to retaliatory tariffs around the globe that will make US goods uninteresting to consumers.
Also, a lot of exports to the US are just above cost as US distributors (used to) place Lage and therefore discounted orders in the EU. Turns out 100 small customers that pay premium are better than 1 customers that pays cost anyway?
So. No?
What did anyone expect?
Yes, give us chlorinated chicken. Yum yum.
Fucking American exceptionslism. “We’re number one!”
Sure, buddy.
The USA wants the EU to ‘decouple’ from China but the EU is unwilling to contemplate more than ‘derisking’, why can’t they just speak plainly about what they want?
And why wouldn’t they? The US isn’t giving the EU that many reasons to comfortably trade with them anymore.
