BUENOS AIRES: Argentina has won a dispute at the World Trade Organization (WTO) against the United States over the unfair blocking of imports of Argentine beef.
A WTO dispute tribunal today announced the decision on the two-year case favouring Argentina in most of the litigation matters.
Back in June, Washington had already lifted the 14-year ban saying it was amending the regulations to allow the entrance of beef from Argentina’s southern Patagonia region.
The restrictions were imposed in 2001 to block the spread of foot-and-mouth disease in cattle, something Buenos Aires complaint against accusing the US government of blocking national products without “scientific justification.”
