EU and Canada ended hormone-treated meat dispute after 21 years
"The Government of Canada and the European Union concluded a Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, in which they have liberalized substantially all trade and further strengthened the economic and trade relationship between Canada and the European Union," the joint statement to WTO said.
Furthermore, according to the statement, the Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement, which went into force last month, made possible for the two counterparts to find a mutually agreed solution and settled the dispute.
Tuesday, Canada agreed to suspend its dispute on the meat hormone issue while the deal trade remains in place. In addition, through the CETA deal, Canada will be able to export duty-free 50,000 tons of beef without hormones to the European Union.
The dispute at the WTO between Canada and the European Union started in 1996 after the EU introduced a ban on the imports of Canadian hormone-treated beef.
