AR-News: (CA) BSE to dominate Winnipeg's World Meat Congress

[animalconcerns at fastmail.us]

WINNIPEG  — Organizers of a major international meat conference hope
this week's event brings Canada's beleaguered cattle producers one step
closer to normal trade with the United States.

"The American government will be strongly represented at the World Meat
Congress and there will be a number of us presenting the case for the
safety of Canadian beef," said Ben Thorlakson, conference co-chair and
chairman of the Canada Beef Export Federation.
...
Canadian cattle producers are still reeling more than a year after a
single outbreak of bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease,
shut Canada out of the lucrative U.S. market.

Canada and the U.S. are also locked in trade battle over whether Canada
is dumping hogs or unfairly subsidizing exports to the United States.
