Introduction: due to France's refusal to lift the ban on the import of British beef, the European Commission filed a lawsuit with the European Court on the 17th, and asked the European Court to agree to impose a fine of about 158000 euros per day on the French government until the French government meets the requirements of the European Commission The European Court of Justice ruled in December that the French government's ban on the import of British beef and its manufactured products was "illegal" But the French government still refused to enforce the court's ruling on the grounds that "there is a risk of BSE in British beef" French government officials earlier said they would not lift the ban on the import of British beef until the authorities concluded in September that it was safe to do so Influenced by the outbreak of BSE in Britain, the European Union banned the export of British beef and its products in 1996 In 1999, the European Union asked Member States to resume the import of qualified British beef and its manufactured products, but the French government has refused to implement this decision of the European Union.
