I've been following this "mutual safety standards recognition" stuff out of the US/EU talks. This could be really, really bad.
It would mean that US vehicles, like those giant dangerous SUVs and pickup trucks, could be freely imported into the EU in volume without having to pass EU vehicle safety standards (like pedestrian safety).
I haven't seen any organised resistance to this. Does anybody know any other organisations that are fighting this?

I believe it's about development of new standards, not existing ones.
"With respect to automobiles, [...] The European Union and United States commit to enhance opportunities for technical cooperation between EU- and US-domiciled standards development organisations with the objective of identifying and developing standards for the transatlantic marketplace in key sectors of mutual interest."
