>>Dropping trade barriers would be labeled as "ceding our sovereignty" by anyone disadvantaged as a result.<< yep. doing anything, in essence, is ceding our sovereignty to do anything else during that time! -lol- but still serious! >>Likewise, if the EU wants to get the US to change some regulation in exchange for access to their markets, and if the change is within the constitutional authority of Congress, then entering into the treaty (trade agreement) and making the regulatory change is not a ceding of sovereignty, regardless of what the treaty's opponents may claim.<< very well said. it seems some confuse what they deem poor trade policy as ceding sovereignty. perhaps it just sounds better. to heck w/ the fact it makes no sense!
