Europe really shouldn't protest when their own protectionist trade barriers bite them in the hind quarters. CE directives basically copied existing regulations from elsewhere, many from the US, and then declared that products certified to the pre-existing regulations that the European Union copied are no longer legal to sell in Europe unless the foreign (American) company pays tens of thousands of dollars to have a European certifying authority re-certify something that has already been certified to fully equivalent specs. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt.
