Aren't pressure groups always the same? We have a big chicken and pork farmers lobby. And we have 40% living with less than 1 dollar a day. One would say that the posibility to buy chicken quarters and pork parts at a very low price, since those parts are discarded in the USA market, would be great to feed those childs and not let them starve. But, of course, our lobbies managed to exclude those parts from the FTA so they are still doomed, but of course the 12,000 producers here would still be able to sell their product at the usual price.

Sure that would make this global economy work better :)
