Meeting important for Canada CANADA — The Canadian Cattlemen's Association (CCA) will be present at next month's World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Meeting in Hong Kong. A new global agreement on agricultural trade will be forged. WTO agreements are nego- tiated once every 15 years. This is a critical negotiation for Canada's beef industry. Canada must achieve more market access and fair mar- ket access for beef exports to fully recover and continue to grow. For Canadian agriculture to excel, Canada must see support programs in other countries lowered, new mar- kets established and fairer trade market access. Negotiations next month will involve 148 countries. The meeting is Dec. 13 to 18.
