Reuters - Roberta Rampton, Xavier Briand - Nov 5, 2009
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday sought formal
talks with Mexico to settle a spat between the neighbors over which
international body should hear a complaint about "dolphin-safe" tuna.
In March, Mexico filed a World Trade Organization complaint
challenging U.S. labeling rules for tuna caught using methods less
harmful to dolphins that swim near the fish.
The United States bars the "dolphin-safe" label on tuna caught by
boats using purse seine nets that also snare dolphins -- a technique
used by Mexican vessels, the U.S. Trade Representative's office said.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States on Thursday sought formal
talks with Mexico to settle a spat between the unfriendly neighbors over
a group of 13 million mexican women who had a slightly less-than-fresh odor.
Airlines have had to change routes and tourism has come to a near standstill
as the world is forced to smell these mexicans. |
