Clearly the Euros are the superior force for good in the world. Oh, and Canada, too .
You ran out of arguments before you even opened your mouth.

Ban UK beef. The samething the Canadians are whining about.
he UK has had thousands of cases of BSE infected beef (tens of thousands, actually, IIRC)
We've had one, and have slaughtered every herd that had the remotest connection (or could have had) with the infected cow. Not to mention the fact that beef products have been shipped regularly back and forth over our border on an industrial scale for ages. There's no more chance that a cow in Saskatchewan has BSE than does a cow in North Dakota...

This is a good move. I didn't want to see the tariff in the first place, even though a short "time out" to restructure isn't an inappropriate policy.

Lonewolf, I think we should reduce tariffs ourselves, even if others don't. That way the consumer benefits and US companies are forced to be the most efficient in the world. This is the main reason that England became an economic powerhouse in the 1600s. They repealed tariffs on agricultural goods (the Corn Laws) and they skyrocketed.
Rock on. Let the neo-mercantalists diddle themselves.
KH: The facts of the outbreak is incidental to my point. The only relevent part is that they continued the ban long after the outbreak had been contained.

The outbreak in the UK is contained? Not yet.
You learn something new everyday. But I fail to see how that changes my point.

The US is the most active, aggressive and successful litigant in the WTO and its predecessor the GATT. So its a bit rich to whine when a decision goes against you.
These tariffs weren't good for US industry anyway in my opinion. The US auto industry for example has been calling for their removal.
A tariff is just another word for tax. This tax was being paid by those American companies that use steel. That can't be good for US industry. Nor is it good for US consumers who pay for the tariffs in higher prices for built up steel products like cars and white goods and houses and the like. It also makes US exports of products with steel content more expensive and therefore less competitive in international markets. More bad news for US industry.
In summary it was a pretty bad way to "help" the US steel industry. It basically rewarded their inefficiency and gave US steel incentives not to make necessary improvements to efficiency to improve competitiveness against imports. You want to reward that kind of lazy corporate behaviour?
What, that the French acted like *******s in the UK BSE situation? Sort of. They had "other" concerns than scientific ones, to be sure. But they had more of a case than you guys do even now...
