This looks like Bush doing more to protect his corporate executive buddies. I cannot think of any of the products in question that have any North American content at all. They did make monitors back in the 90's, but no one makes flat panels in the US or Mexico. Sony was the last one and they closed down two years ago. Satellite and cable boxes used to be made in Mexico (jobs exported to Asia and Mexican workers come to the US because we exported their jobs to Asia-ironic)and multifunction machines have never been made in the NAFTA trade zone.

Could we have a few examples of what the EU considers "new products" that have nothing to do with screens, switches, printers or faxes ?
Then maybe we could make an informed decision as to whether or not this attitude is just a load of bollocks.

This is awesome! I've been ranting about this tax for ages, now it's finally going away... I think I'm gonna buy myself a 30" monitor :D
