From over here, it looks like they might get a bit wider entrance into a few tiny markets, while facing more competition and the probability of being sued endlessly for having stricter laws on all sorts of things than the countries housing those markets.

How do they 'stand to benefit greatly'? I really don't see them exporting all that much more than they do now. They make quality products that are typically on the pricey end, not cheap ass stuff that can be dumped in large amounts in new countries.
