I think a lot of those negotiations have happened at the OIE, and a lot of countries have the liberty to look after their own food safety rules in each nation. Much of this is a lot of hard work. I know Ag Canada is working hard at this in countries such as Korea, trying to deal with their concerns, even when some of those concerns seem pretty disingenuous. The WTO may be an avenue for us to use some discipline with Korea.
