Hi Dave,
I enjoy getting your postings, and read or browse through many. Question:
did you, or are you interested in, posting my recent article in the FT
online, on info industry market failure? More generally, would you be
interested in posting the articles of all of us, to give them some added
circulation, and maybe some new subscribers to the FT, so they are happy
too? My recent piece got some traction on its own already.

Warm regards, Eli

Subject: NYT Article on EU Trade Sanctions Against the U.S.
Hi Dave,
Here is an article that is making some waves in international trade
circles. For the first time, the WTO has shown some teeth and provided
some credibility to the dispute settlement mechanism by allowing the EU
to impose retaliatory sanctions on the U.S. for illegal export subsidies
for American exporters.
However, unlike the case of potential retaliatory tariffs against steel
- which were targeted at products in states that would be critical in
this year's presidential election - this episode will target sectors
that produce goods directly competitive with the EU's own products.

European Union Says U.S. Faces $4 Billion in Trade Sanctions
By ELIZABETH BECKER
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/02/26/business/26CND-TRAD.html
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 - The European Union's trade commissioner told
senior lawmakers on Thursday that the United States would face $4
billion in sanctions starting Monday because Congress had failed to
eliminate overseas tax shelters for American exporters that were
declared illegal by the World Trade Organization.
Pascal Lamy delivered a similar warning in November as Europe was
preparing to levy sanctions against the United States for tariffs on
steel imports, and one month later, Mr. Bush lifted the disputed
tariffs.
