Ecuador revisits EU banana dispute
Ecuador plans to mount a new challenge before the World Trade Organization that will revisit the European tariffs on bananas, which are seen as favoring producers in former British and French colonies in the Caribbean.
Ecuador officials said Monday it would take its case to the WTO on March 8, according to an Associated Press report. The WTO said a change in EU tariffs implemented in 2006 brought the EU into compliance with WTO rules. But Ecuador, the world's largest producer of bananas, said the EU still favors producers from the Caribbean islands and Africa.
