yahooIn a separate ``Super 301'' report, outlining more general trade priorities, the United States detailed a long list of other practices it was closely monitoring, including:

-- burdensome automobile dealer protection laws in Central American and Caribbean countries;
-- restrictive auto policies in Japan and Korea;
-- onerous technical regulations in Mexico;
-- lack of transparency in regulatory rule-making in the EU;
-- EU subsidies for European plane maker Airbus;
-- agricultural practices in Canada, Australia and Japan;
