Why in the world should the EU force a Euro company to add VAT to their bills, while allowing companies from outside to sell VAT free?

As I said before [webmasterworld.com] - there have been long talks over this, with the US government tying to delay this by all means. One day, was their position, one day we will have a worldwide agreement Until then we have the right to sell cheaper to EU citizens than you!

Also note this: this is nothing more than what has been applied all the time on B2B commerce, which makes for 90% of e-commerce.

So not a big deal anyway.
