The European Union and the US will begin formal talks on a free-trade agreement, paving the way for the biggest trade deal in history.

[...]

One aim of the free-trade agreement would be to eliminate or reduce tariffs - taxes that apply to imported goods.

For both the EU and US average tariffs are already low, below 3%. But further reductions could nonetheless stimulate additional trade and there are some areas where tariffs are much higher, notably food.

Don't worry EU Bros, we'll make sure you get all the flavors of soda-pop.

Also... Please let this get rid of the insane restrictions on importing firearms. I'd really, really like to purchase some German or British firearms without paying $1000+

Maybe one day I will get to taste all these weird american drinks and sweets

Edited:

Probably tastes like shit though

Ahahahaha

Australia getting fair prices.

Pppfhahaha.

Please do it with Australia too. I want Dr. Pepper

And I want some Tim Tams or Barbeque Shapes.

Would be nice, I'm from scotland but I've pretty much lived all around the world.

Europe and UK have some of the best sweets and ice-cream, would be nice to see a little bit of all that make its way to the US. The import cost is kinda fucked, a regular Kinder bar/candy type pack can cost like 5 dollars.

Hopefully the UK can spread Brown Sauce around the globe and being our mighty conquest for the worlds taste buds.

To buy a single Twinkie in the UK it costs like ?1, although is worth every penny.

Fuck yeah. I buy a lot of stuff overseas, most notably Walking Dead compendium 1 and 2 the other day, among some other things, so not having to pay exorbitant amounts in fees would be welcome.

Ohoho maybe if Serbia enters EU and this gets passed i can buy American car

Not that i like them

they are so hard to find where I live

Does the EU really not import American cars? I mean, good on them, but... anyone who watches Top Gear knows that the UK does... so...

tariffs are fucking retarded

As far as food/drink goes, why would the EU want to import any of the junk produced in the US?

tariffs are fucking retarded

They're intended to make you choose locally made products over foreign products, thus helping your local economy. Kinda pointless these days are the demand for a global market just leads to people paying the tariff and buying overseas anyway

Dr Pepper isn't even that good.

EU roads are often narrov and curved, except Autobahn.
A small & agile little car serves you best, unless the Autobahn (or similar) goes from your home to your destinations of choice.

Lotus Elise and hot-hatches are a good example of nippy small cars.

And I want some Tim Tams or Barbeque Shapes.

Trade?

Does... does this mean I can buy real Mountain Dew soon?

Dr Pepper isn't even that good.

Having paid ridiculous prices for it from an import shop, I disagree

Hahahha. You must have never had American junk food. It's cocaine in delicious form. The EU wants to make you fat.

As long as they keep Hershey bars out, those things taste literally of sick.

Having paid ridiculous prices for it from an import shop, I disagree

It's not sold here normally either, I bought it off an import shop, as well. I've tried vanilla coke, cherry sevenup and many other normally-unavailable drinks and Dr. Pepper takes the lead into being the most uninteresting.

but adam smith crushed that argument in the 18th century

We do but not only are American cars massive - way too wide for our roads, but they're all left hand drive. Also, American cars tend to have big engines and do bad MPG, so for the running costs and convenience we go for European cars

I think Jeremy Clarkson said the Ford GT was wider than our Range Rovers, and so on it overlapped onto the other side of the road, which means you have to drive into the bushes everytime someone drives past

GIVE ME MY MOTHERFUCKING KINDER SURPRISES.

My mom's friend used to send me those things when I was little, they were the shit!

This is big

Why haven't I heard anything else about this

This would be huge

GIVE ME MY MOTHERFUCKING KINDER SURPRISES.

My mom's friend used to send me those things when I was little, they were the shit!

I have a large bucket filled with those small toys that came with those.
My brother used to downright LOVE the chocolate.

Not all American cars are monstrous gas guzzlers. My car:

You have my pity.

Not all American cars are monstrous gas guzzlers. My car:

We have Chevrolets, basically if the engine is under 2.0l and it does over 40mpg we'll have it. Anything faster and we go European.

Hell yeah, gonna buy me some cheap books off of amazon.com if this becomes reality.

Most import shops here charge ?1.50 - 2 for a can of soda (Around $3)

I have tried a few different ones, but my favourites that you cant buy normally were fanta grape/strawberry and mountain dew throwback.

Dr Pepper is still probably my favourite soft drink overall.
