Clarification about time building in USA

Hi everyone!

First of all, I know there is thousand of posts about it, but I've been taking a look at hundred of posts but still there is something that I don't have clear enough.

If I go to USA with a partner and both of us get shared time, one of us is going to be as Safety Pilot right? That time, JAA doesn't like at all and it won't count towards your licensing time needs.

My question is, when both pilots have to enter this time in their logbook, what is the way to do it? One pilot puts the time in the PIC square and the other pilot, PIC time plus Safety pilot in the remarks section?

But what if I go to USA by myself, and I fly 100 hours truly, just alone in the airplane and I log the whole time as PIC. Would it count as real PIC time for JAA? Or definitely, JAA has set that anytime done in USA has to be reduced 50%?

When I say JAA, I mean DGCA in Spain, CAA in UK, etc.

Thanks so much in advance! Good flights!
