Extracts from SPS Committee meeting summary reports

Argentina raised concerns regarding Korea's denial of access to Argentine beef without specifying its sanitary requirements or visiting Argentina to verify its sanitary status. Korea replied that since it had been free of FMD for 60 years, it applied very strict requirements. Korea believed it was acting consistently with OIE recommendations, and offered to discuss the matter bilaterally.
