Extra duty for European food import
US wants to triple to 300 percent the import duty on world-famous Roquefort cheese, France turn to WTO.
The US move was the latest volley in a
larger, 13-year-old trade fight between the European Union and
Washington over beef treated with hormones. The new sanctions, which
take effect in March, are designed to pressure European governments
to comply with World Trade Organization rulings and lift a ban on US
hormone-treated beef.
Roquefort is one of dozens of foods
targeted in the trade sanctions, accounting for just $3 million of a
total $110 million worth of imports subjected to tariffs.
