US EU Beef Hormone & Poultry Disputes

The United States and the European Union (EU) have engaged in a long-standing and acrimonious trade dispute over the EU’s decision to ban hormone-treated meat as well as poultry treated with antimicrobial rinses. Despite an ongoing series of dispute settlement proceedings and decisions by the World Trade Organization (WTO), there is continued disagreement between the United States and the EU on a range of legal and procedural issues, as well as the scientific evidence and consensus concerning the safety of these agricultural products. This book examines the issues, challenges, and proposed resolutions to the U.S.-EU beef hormone and poultry disputes.
