| Abstract: | One of the first major disputes between the US and the European Union (EU) to be ruled on by the new, and relatively untried, disputes settlement system of the World Trade Organisation (WTO) was the exceedingly complex and acrimonious issue of beef produced using growth hormones. Having this particular dispute as a test of WTO efficacy is unfortunate for a number of reasons. First, the WTO Panel had to deal with a new area of competency - sanitary and Phyto-sanitary regulations. Second, the dispute has not been resolved despite there having been clear rulings from the WTO Panel and Appeals Panel. Finally, the timing of the beef hormone case is unfortunate. |
