WTO Panel Seen Ruling on Canada-U.S. Meat Label Dispute in June
OTTAWA--Canada should find out in June if it's been successful in a long-running dispute over a contentious U.S. meat-labeling rule.
A World Trade Organization panel is expected to issue a confidential interim report to the governments on June 20, according to a person familiar with the matter. The final report is expected a month later, on July 22, according to this person, who has seen the timelines for the decision.
The panel heard oral submissions from the governments last week in the dispute over country-of-origin labeling, known as COOL.
