Two sentences, from a press release by two U.S. Senators related to a possible US-EU FTA, that are somewhat in conflict:

Then this:
It is also critical that the United States strongly promote the interests of U.S. businesses, farmers, ranchers, and workers with respect to EU policies, including geographical indications, that impede their ability to compete.
