Europe doesn't need to be a country to have a standard. You may have heard of this wee lil' entity called the European Union. Many people call it the EU for short.
Anyway, back towards the original topic, I was on a plane with a Sony distributor from Mumbai. I asked him why I see so many people collecting huge LCD/Plasma/whatever TVs from baggage claim when I land from BKK. He said that due to the high taxes it comes out cheaper for them to buy them in BKK, claim the VAT and bring them to India rather than to buy them from his shops in Mumbai.
