RE:European countries expected to follow Germany
We have seen how the Can LPs have lost 1st mover advantage in the USA, and their plan to profit was/is that market. The MSOs have had the home grown advantage so I am very cautious in any LP banking profit on foreign growth when they haven't sorted out how to make money at home. Likely scenario is European companies will own that market. CURA has bought a company and is keeping it as a seperate European entity, Boris knows you can't go in American style unless you are already a massive global brand like Coke, and even then it is difficult.
