Canada threatening EU
Looks like the despotic EU has been playing naughty and not respecting the agreed Canada-EU trade deal terms. They have been blocking exports from Canada resulting in Canada now importing more beef from the EU than they actually export.

"While Europe has seen a huge boost in trade, Canadian agri-business exports to Europe have seen an astonishing 10 percent drop.
Rich Smith, the Executive Director of Alberta Beef Producers, ripped into the “roadblock imposed by the EU”.
"As frustration with the European partnership grows, international law expert Genevieve Dufour warned that Canada could deploy its “dispute resolution mechanism” to retaliate against the EU.
She said: “If Canada believes the EU is not respecting the agreement, in agri-foods, it will take action.”
Canadian Agri-Food Trade Alliance chief Claire Citeau added: “The negotiated terms are not being respected.
“There are always delays, there are always exorbitant costs."
"“EU exports have increased but Canadian exports have dropped by 10 percent. We now have a €3.5billion trade deficit!”
Overall EU exports to Canada rose 11 percent in 2018 from a year earlier, but Canadian agricultural exports to the EU fell 15 percent."
