WTO Looking at EU Poultry Ban
Published Monday, November 23, 2009 at 04:56 AM
A World Trade Organization panel will investigate the decade-long European Union ban on imports of U.S. poultry. The panel will look at EU restrictions on poultry processed with the anti-bacterial chemicals chlorine dioxide, acidified sodium chloride, trisodium phosphate and peroxyacids.

The WTO can authorize sanctions against nations that don't follow its rulings but cannot force countries to comply. A ruling is expected within nine months. The 27-country European bloc ban has been in place since 1997.
