You think the European Commission needs the US to be legitimate? Very funny.
Didn't the US lose its seat recently on the UN Council, while the Europeans
retained their place? A little knowledge is a dangerous thing William. You
may be confusing the Euro with other factors and force me to pull rank on
this topic. I live under the laws and regulations of the United States of
America, but I have a say in how Europe is run through my vote in European
Elections. My tip of the day is to hire an experienced advisor who has a
thorough knowledge and understanding of European concerns, or never expand
your business overseas.

Regards,
Joanna
