A U.S. Perspective On The Ec Hormones Directive, Holly Hammonds
A U.S. Perspective On The Ec Hormones Directive, Holly Hammonds
Michigan Journal of International Law
On December 31, 1985, the European Community ["EC"] adopted the "Council Directive Prohibiting the Use in Livestock Farming of Certain Substances Having a Hormonal Action" ("the Directive"). The directive, originally scheduled to take effect on January 1, 1988, prohibits the use of hormones, natural and synthetic, in livestock production and the sale of meat treated with hormones in the EC market. The United States believes that the directive violates the requirements of the Agreement on Technical Barriers to Trade ("Standards Code" or "Code").

The Hormone Conflict Between The Eec And The United States Within The Context Of Gatt, Werner P. Meng
Michigan Journal of International Law
For many years, consumer organizations within the European Community have demanded the prohibition of natural and synthetic hormones from use in animal fodder. Since the level of hormone use by breeders varies among Member States, demands for a hormone prohibition have also differed in intensity from State to State. After lengthy negotiations beset with legal difficulties, a general, community-wide prohibition became reality at the beginning of 1989. The price of this policy has been trade difficulties with the United States which, up to the present time,' have resulted in trade sanctions and economic losses on both sides. Since both parties …

As export and economic growth in Korea and Taiwan has slowed since 1988, it has increased dramatically in several countries of Southeast Asia.

The Structural Impediments Initiative: An Example Of Bilateral Trade Negotiation, Mitsuo Matsushita
The Structural Impediments Initiative: An Example Of Bilateral Trade Negotiation, Mitsuo Matsushita
Michigan Journal of International Law
In June 1990, the governments of the United States and Japan concluded the Structural Impediments Initiative ("SII"), a series of bilateral trade negotiations. The SII came about as a result of a large trade imbalance between the two countries in favor of Japan, which, despite many efforts, the United States and Japan had been unable to reduce. It was the U.S. government's perception that the real cause of the trade imbalance was not Japan's protective border measures in the form of tariffs or quantitative restrictions, such as import quotas on agricultural and leather products, but rather the oligopolistic industrial sector …

Trade negotiators have been exploring whether the harmonization of domestic economic institutions can allow for more intimate as well as more balanced economic relations between the United States and Japan. Concern with the international harmonization of institutions …
