The European Union Ban on North American-Produced Beef and Efforts at Retaliation
This 5 page report discusses the fact that, in 1989, the European Union (EU) implemented a ban on imported beef from animals treated with growth-promoting hormones, cutting off U.S. beef exports to the EU valued at approximately $100 million annually. Canada and the U.S. have issued lists of “retaliation” European goods that will (and in some cases already are) the targets of steeply increased import tariffs in order to gain access to the North American markets. The retaliation has created a great deal of animosity on both sides of the Atlantic. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
