Mexico sued the USA in the WTO to force this change.
Oh, and WTO was the result of ANOTHER huge Fast-tracked trade deal...The Marrakech Agreement of 1995.
In order to not run afoul of these, seemingly binding, agreements, the US House has overturned a very popular law in the US. The Senate and POTUS will soon follow.
With TPP it'll probably be illegal to label baby formula with country of origin.
Well I guess it’s an opportunity for American beef farmers to demand that their meat is labeled “Raised and harvested in America” just to set it apart from the rest.
With TPP it won’t matter where anything comes from, or what’s in it. There will be no other choices. Labels: “This carton contains eggs.” Or “This package contains cheese”. Whether the eggs are whole or broken, you’ll have to buy it to find out. Is the cheese yellow, white, or moldy? Buy it and then you’ll know. Ain’t the new World Trade Authority the best thing ever!
