Chocolate Protectionism

After a Deal, British Chocolates Won’t Cross the Pond http://t.co/rnOybvpP1o

I’m no great defender of Brit chocolate as the pinnacle of the confectionery art (especially as Cadbury were bought a while back by Kraft) but this sounds like good old fashioned protectionism albeit of the chocolate variety. I suppose an exclusive deal is an exclusive deal but this is a little hard on Brits abroad looking for a small taste of home.
