WTO rules in favour of Mexico in US tuna dispute
The World Trade Organization's Appellate Body has ruled in favour of Mexico in a dispute with the United States over tuna labelling, upholding an earlier ruling issued in April that found US rules discriminated against Mexico, reports Reuters.
The WTO's appeals judges concluded that the United States' requirement for "dolphin-safe" tuna labels was unfair to Mexican fishermen. Mexico has said that its tuna production meets international standards preventing accidental capture of dolphins in nets.
The appeal ruling is final, and could lead to Mexico making a claim for retaliation against US exports if it believes the United States has not brought its rules into line with the WTO ruling.
