Taking a case to the World Trade Organization

This 1999 news clip discusses New Zealand's intention to take a complaint to the World Trade Organization (WTO) following the US government's decision to impose a tariff on lamb imports. Australia also laid a complaint. The WTO upheld both complaints and, in 2001, the US agreed to remove the tariff.
