It's a very interesting picture as most American meat is banned from the EU and rightly so as the standards of animal husbandry are way lower in the USA than in the EU. Many harmful substances used in US agriculture are outright banned in the EU and surprise, surprise - there is no consumer pressure on the EU administration to allow cheap US meat onto the shelves of supermarkets in the EU, in fact the diametric opposite; consumer pressure is to continue or tighten the current restrictions on unhealthy animal husbandry practices both at home and in the countries from which meat is imported into the EU.
