EU emission law
I figured since it certainly affects our jobs why not bring it up here:
U.S. House to EU: A pox on your emissions law: AINonline
Finally this EU
faces some serious resistance.

The original Boston tea party.
Are we to believe that the USA has not imposed its own laws on the rest of the world.
Now its the EU's turn.

With respect, Gulfstreamaviation, this is a different situation. Aviation agreements between countries are made by consent; one country can't impose conditions on another and we all remember what a long drawn out affair the negotiation of US/EU Open Skies was. It would never have been agreed had this nonsense been part of it.
America, as the article says, is not the only country objecting; China recently blocked an A380 order by HK Airlines over the issue and other countries are likely to object. Personally, I can see all of these countries simply stopping EU flights as of 1st January, until the EU sees sense.
With the EU economy in a spot of bother at the moment, the last thing it needs is this kind of nonsense - especially when it will be looking to China for help with its economic problems. Basically it comes down to a choice: this will not go ahead - does the EU want to recognise this the easy way (and voluntarily put it on the back burner), or the hard way - with the possible cost of thousands of jobs.
