The chickens slaughtered in the United States ,say（claim）the officials in Brussel,are not fit to grace the European tables.No ,say the Americans,our fowl are fine,we simply clean them in a different way.These days,it is the differences in national regulations,far more than tariffs,that put sand in the wheel of trade between rich countries.It is not just farmers that（who） are complaining.An electronic razor that meets European safety standards must be approved by American testers before it can be sold in the United States.And an American-made analysis machine needs EU’s OK（okay） before it hits the market of the Europe.
As it happens,a razor that is safe in Europe is unlikely to electrocute Americans.So,ask businesses on both sides of the Atalantic（Atlantic）,why have two lots of tests where one would have it（do）.Politicians agree,in principle,so American and EU have been trying to reach a deal which would eliminate the need to double-test many products.They hope to finish in time for a trade summit between America and EU on May 28th.Although the nigotiators are optimistic,the details are complex enough that they may be hard-pressed to get a deal at all.
Why?one difficulty is to construct the agreement（areements）.The Americans would happily reach a accord on（standards for） medical devices and then hammer-out （hammer out） other pacts covering ,say ,electronic goods and drug manufacturing .The EU ,following fine continental traditions,wants agreement on general principles,which would cover(could be applied to) many types of products and perhaps extended to other countries.
