Major Issues Raised by Canada
On December 1, 2008, Canada
requested consultations regarding U.S.
mandatory COOL, and consultations
were held on December 16, 2008. In its
December 1, 2008 consultations request,
Canada challenged the COOL provisions
in the Agricultural Marketing Act of
1946, as amended by the Food,
Conservation, and Energy Act, 2008
(2008 Farm Bill), and implemented in
the U.S. Department of Agriculture
(‘‘USDA’’) Interim Final Rule published
on August 1, 2008. In Canada’s May 7,
2009 letter requesting further
consultations, Canada noted that the
Interim Final Rule had been replaced by
a USDA Final Rule published on
January 15, 2009, and that on February
20, 2009, the Secretary of Agriculture
issued a letter regarding implementation
of the Final Rule.
Canada alleges that the U.S. measures
appear to be inconsistent with the
General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade
1994 (‘‘GATT 1994’’), Articles III:4, IX:2,
IX:4, and X:3, the Agreement on
Technical Barriers to Trade (‘‘TBT
Agreement’’), Article 2 or in the
alternative, the Agreement on the
Application of Sanitary and
Phytosanitary Measures (‘‘SPS
Agreement’’), Articles 2, 5, and 7, and
the Agreement on Rules of Origin,
Article 2. Additionally, Canada alleges
these violations nullify or impair the
benefits accruing to Canada under those
Agreements and further appear to
nullify or impair the benefits accruing to
Canada in the sense of GATT 1994,
Article XXIII:1(b).
Major Issues Raised by Mexico
On December 17, 2008, Mexico
requested consultations regarding U.S.
mandatory COOL, and consultations
were held on February 27, 2009. In its

request, Mexico challenged the COOL
provisions in the Agricultural Marketing
Act of 1946, as amended by the Farm,
Security, and Rural Investment Act of
2002 and the Food, Conservation, and
Energy Act, 2008, and implemented by
the regulations published in 7 CFR parts
60 and 65. In Mexico’s May 7, 2009
letter requesting further consultations, it
explained that this request concerns

Mexico’s initial request for
consultations, including USDA’s Final
Rule on COOL published on January 15,
2009 and the Secretary of Agriculture’s
letter on COOL dated February 20, 2009.
Mexico alleges that the U.S. measures
appear to be inconsistent with the
GATT 1994, Articles III, IX, and X, the
TBT Agreement, Article 2 and 12 or in
the alternative, the SPS Agreement,
Articles 2, 5, and 7, and the Agreement
on Rules of Origin, Article 2.
Additionally, Mexico alleges these
violations nullify or impair the benefits
accruing to Mexico under those
Agreements and further appear to
nullify or impair the benefits accruing to
Mexico in the sense of GATT 1994,
