본문내용
The agreement on the rules on managing the health and safety issues of food in trade
The SPS was written by US
The standards, guidelines, and recommendations on food safety are made by the Codex Alimentarus Commission
SPS Agreement acknowledged the sovereign right of members to take measures to protect health and life within their territories, but only if such measures are not arbitrary or unjustifiable discriminatory, constituting disguised restrictions on international trade
(2)Pushing Reagan to make a strong stance on the dispute
Congress considered legislation to restrict the president’s discretionary authority on trade issues → Reagan Administration took a strong stance
Group of influential US senators urged the US Agriculture Secretary Richard Lyng to recommend to President Reagan to declare a complete embargo on all European beef imports.
⇒Speculation : The congressmen were captured by the interest groups that wanted the government to strongly retaliate the EU. As a result, the Reagan Administration was pressured to act firmly on the issue.
