OA show ('918 '); according to overseas media reports, the World Trade Organization decided on Monday to require the United States to review the system of restrictions on the amount of wheat bran imported from the European Union The WTO's three member committee said it was illegal for Washington to impose quotas on the European Union and other countries, but to exempt Canada from restrictions on the volume of its imports because of a free trade agreement with Canada The United States believes that the sharp increase of wheat bran import has seriously damaged domestic producers, and the number of imported wheat bran has been limited for three years since June 1998 According to WTO rules, member states can implement temporary "protection" measures after thorough investigation In the view of the troika, the investigation conducted before the introduction of quotas in the United States was not correct Investigators first included Canada in the survey and then excluded it from the quota limit Moreover, they also failed to consider whether there was a non import factor in the damage to their own industries Prior to the introduction of quotas in the United States, the European Union had a 30 per cent share of the US wheat bran import market A year ago, the European Union filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) about the quota imposed by the United States Source: Yang Jing provides China feed industry information network is8 (author:)
