John, This relates to what I mentioned before, that companies who trade their products around the world will find it easier to have ONE measuring system than TWO - i.e. one for the whole world and one for USA. Such companies are more likely to push for metric-only labelling, than ones who trade in the US only. Regards Mike Joy
