加拿大要求WTO就肉类标识规定制裁美国

    食品伙伴网讯    据外媒报道，针对美国的肉类原产地标识（country-of-origin labeling requirement，COOL）规定，加拿大要求世贸组织（WTO）对美国进行制裁。

    世贸组织对加国和墨西哥提出的申诉维持原判，即美国2009年以来法律要求零售商须标示动物肉类出生、养殖和屠宰国家的规定，是对进口牲畜的歧视。加拿大声称这项措施对国内猪只和牛只养殖户有不利影响。

    部分原文报道如下：

    Canada today submitted a request at the World Trade Organization for retaliatory trade measures against the United States for non-compliance after winning a meat labelling dispute.

    At a special WTO meeting held to iron out trade disputes, Canada evaluated the suspension of its tariffs and related obligations on US goods at three billion Canadian dollars （USD 2.5 billion） annually.

    This was “in response to the US's continued non-compliance with its WTO obligations” in the COOL （Country of origin labelling requirement） dispute,“ a source close to the dispute said.
