Canada wins latest timber battle
The US and Canada are at loggerheads over timberThe World Trade Organisation (WTO) has ruled against the US in the latest round of a long-running timber dispute with neighbouring Canada.
A WTO panel rejected a US appeal against an earlier ruling that it had failed to comply with WTO findings in 2003 and 2004.
It had found that duties imposed on Canadian lumber imports violated the WTO's rules and should be changed.
The case is one of several related to timber between Canada and the US.
Canada has long called for the US to remove its import tariffs, but the US has insisted they remain.
Meanwhile, the US accuses Canada of unfairly subsidising its lumber industry.
Both countries have extensive timber industries.
