I don't have time to read that article right now but if left for politicians to work it out it would never become a reality. Reason? Look at the free-zones out there and their internal problems. One Lobby will inevitably pull the government to their side, so the other side pulls their government to their side and then it's no longer a free-trade zone but a lobby-block[tr]ade zone.

I don't know why the Spiegel would suggest that though. I'd like you, Skybird, to let us know of the mail they receive from this. Certainly they've just lost a few subscribers unless they are playing "neutral" and there's another article on the other page suggesting to impose a full barrier on all American trade.
