This report discusses the both sides of the case study and considers the following question on the case - - Should the WTO decide whether there is enough scientific evidence of risk to ban imports of a food? Or is this a job better left to national government agencies?
- The United States and Canada argued that Europe’s ban was not meant to protect consumers, but to give European ranchers who do not use hor- mones an advantage against foreign importers. What do you think of this argument?
- As a result of the EU’s refusal to allow imports of hormone-treated beef, the U.S. has imposed expensive trade sanctions. Could you see the EU’s decision as a means of buying protection for EU consumers? Is it worth the price?
