Twenty-one US Representatives sent a bipartisan letter to Canadian officials urging them to engage in market access discussions regarding dairy products as a member of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP).
“We write to stress to you the importance of key agricultural market access issues, such as those pertaining to diary trade, which are not yet resolved in the TPP,” the letter states, citing Canada’s unwillingness to engage in talks. “It is critical that Canada finally commit to finishing the work left undone in our prior agreements and finally commit to significant and commercially meaningful market access for all remaining agricultural products.”
