  • “Couldn’t Have Said It Better Myself”

    The October 15 "U.S.-EU High-Level Regulatory Cooperation Forum" was meant to be a cheery affair, but there were cracks in the façade that couldn't be covered over. Yes, cast against the larger goal of addressing barriers to Transatlantic trade, regulators on either side of the ocean are...
