(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress makes the following
findings:
(1) The European Union’s prohibition on the
importation into member states of the European
Union of meat from animals treated with hormones
and the European Union’s Third Country Meat Di-
rective are nontariff trade barriers.
(2) The maintenance of these nontariff barriers
is a major impediment to United States meat ex-
ports to the member states of the European Union.
(3) United States producers of meat products
have been injured by being denied the opportunity to
sell their products in the members states of the Eu-
ropean Union.
(4) The imposition of these nontariff barriers
has had harmful effects on United States commer-
cial interests and has created serious trade disputes
between the United States and the European Union.
(5) Efforts by the United States Government to
negotiate resolutions to these disputes have been un-
successful.
(6) In order to prevent further economic injury
to the United States meat industry, the United
States Government must take stronger action to re-
move the major impediments to United States ex-
ports created by the nontariff trade barriers de-
scribed in paragraph (1).
(b) POLICY.—It is the policy of the United States
