The European Union has finally imposed sanctions against U.S. manufacturers in retaliation for the illegal export subsidy U.S. companies have been receiving for years. Industries such as paper, jewelry and leather goods have warned that if the sanctions continue, they will go out of business or be irreparably harmed. However, the U.S. Congress, which continues debate on the matter this week, has been unable to repeal the foreign sales corporation/extraterritorial income tax regime.

The Los Angeles businessman and art collector Richard L. Weisman, who said last month that 11 silk-screen paintings, right, by Andy Warhol had been stolen from his home, has waived the $25 million insurance policy that would reimburse him for the paintings, The Seattle Times reported. The Los Angeles police have described the case as puzzling, saying that there were no signs of a break-in and that the Warhol works were the only valuable items missing from the home. Mr. Weisman, 69, said that he had waived the insurance policy because he did not want insurance investigators searching through his private papers as part of an inquiry, according to the Seattle newspaper. ''That's the only reason, and it's a good enough reason,'' Mr. Weisman said. The Los Angeles Times reported that detectives assigned to the case said that they had found Mr. Weisman's decision curious and planned to question him about it. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
