However I do think EU has higher moral standard when it comes to global issues than US especially in the technical standard side. Just take note CE (including EMC/EMI) is an EU initiatives and finally US decided to follow. ROHS/WEEE/etc will be another thing that US has to follow. Every country will have to put national interests (first). So it is not really faking data. But the data are always subject to interpretation. And since a lot of data are not really clear cut and are only of statistical meanings. My wife is now studying epidemiology. By helping her with her assignment I come to understand why we can get medical reports which seems to contradict to each other.
