Argentina files dispute against the US on imports of lemons

The following is excerpted from a 3 September 2012 news item by the World Trade Organization.

On 3 September 2012, Argentina notified the WTO Secretariat of a request for consultations with the United States on measures applied by the United States to imports of fresh lemons from the north-western region of Argentina. Argentina claims that the prohibition of imports of this fruit for the last 11 years, and other restrictive measures, lack scientific justification. Argentina also claims that the measures of the United States appear to cancel or impair the benefits for Argentina derived, directly or indirectly, from the relevant WTO Agreements.
