> common consumer protection laws in all areas of business
As an American, every time I buy something directly from a European company online (most recently ebooks, for instance) I come away thinking "wait -- was that it"? Like I was bracing to be drenched in raw sewage and given a black eye. Might be over-generalizing from my limited experience, but I do appreciate the difference. I feel like the U.S. quit even talking about consumer protection in the 80s.
So I'd say these things actually benefit more than just EU citizens!
