[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1845549, member: 18945"] They shouldn't be, since Canada was cohorts in dragging the last US country of origin labeling into the World Court. [I]Country of origin labeling (COOL) has been contested by Canada and Mexico since December 2008, with the U.S.'s final appeal being denied by the World Trade Organization (WTO) in the last several months. The finding of the WTO was that the COOL provisions discriminated against Canada, Mexico and other countries from a technical perspective because the information required of slaughterhouses and processors was substantially greater than that disseminated to the public. This translates to a conclusion that imported products received less favorable treatment than domestic products; thus the U.S. violated its WTO obligation.[/I] And most likely, they are going to again. [B]Canada to oppose U.S. proposals to renew country of origin labeling, ministers say[/B] Reuters March 7, 20235:14 PM CSTUpdated a year ago [I]March 7 (Reuters) - Canada will firmly oppose U.S. proposals to renew mandatory country of origin labeling for pork and beef and is concerned by measures that could cause disruptions to North American livestock supply chains, two Canadian ministers said on Tuesday. The statement by Agriculture Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau and International Trade Minister Mary Ng came in response to a proposed U.S. rule requiring meat, poultry or eggs labeled as a U.S. product to be raised and slaughtered within the country.[/I] [/QUOTE]
