US relaunches hormone-beef trade fight with EU
By EUOBSERVER
The US announced on Thursday that it was "taking action against the EU's unfair trade practices that discriminate against US beef imports". It said that the EU ban on hormone-treated meat and meat products was "not supported by scientific evidence and thus violated WTO obligations", threatening to impose tariffs on EU imports. Public consultation will determine whether the EU ban has an impact on US businesses.
