EP News report, 22 April 1999
Ban on Hormones
The External Economic Relations Committee, chaired by Philippe HERZOG (EUL/NGL, F), has decided to propose that a debate be held on the WTO's decision concerning the Community's ban on hormones. The debate is due to take place at the May part-session and will include a statement by Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan. The political groups are invited to propose resolutions to wind up the debate.
The WTO decided, following a complaint by the United States and Canada, that the EU's ban on imports of hormone-treated meat violated its rules.
