Re: And what exactly is freedom?

<Example (within the EU): Brussels is blamed by the French for being nitpicking about the way the Camembert cheese is composed; what the French don't seem to know is that the blame does not originate from the Brussels bureaucrats, but by the Greek farmers who want their cheese made this way and not imitated elsewhere. The Greek farmers simply exert their right to keep their product as it was originally made.

The fact that the composition of cheese is considered to be an appropriate concern of both national governments and international agreements sort of highlights one of the main problems there. Unless it's some kind of a patent issue, I'm not sure what the problem is.
