The United States has filed an appeal at the World Trade Organization, challenging the most recent WTO ruling against country-of-origin labeling (COOL). The WTO recently ruled against the United States and in favor of Canada and Mexico, which claimed that the COOL law discriminated against imported meat. The WTO said in its ruling that the U.S. had failed to bring the labeling laws into line with global trade rules, reports Reuters.
As a result of that recent ruling, Canada and Mexico were given the right to impose trade senctions against U.S. products.
