Mexico joins Canada with COOL complaint
Mexico joined Canada in contesting a new U.S. law on
country-of-origin labeling (COOL) for fresh beef and pork. The complaint, which
Mexico filed with the World Trade Organization (WTO) on Dec. 18, claims that
the U.S. regulations discriminate against Canadian and Mexican agricultural
exporters. According to a WTO official, the organization received Mexico’s
official complaint, starting a 60-day consultation period between Mexican and
U.S. authorities. Afterward, Mexico can ask the WTO to set up an investigative
panel.
