墨西哥采取行动解决美墨加协定(USMCA)生物技术玉米争端

墨西哥政府采取行动,以解决根据《美墨加协定》(USMCA)就墨西哥转基因玉米采取的生物技术措施引发的争端。

墨西哥的行动宣布美国贸易代表办公室(USTR)在USMCA争端中成功挑战的两项措施无效:(1) 立即禁止在面团和玉米饼中使用转基因玉米;(2) 指示墨西哥政府机构逐步停止将转基因玉米用于其他食品用途和动物饲料。

2023年8月17日,美国根据USMCA第31章成立了争端解决小组,对墨西哥2023年2月总统玉米法令中体现的两项措施提出质疑。美国根据USMCA的“卫生与植物卫生措施”章节以及“货物国民待遇和市场准入”章节提起诉讼。专家组于2024年12月20日向当事方发布了最终报告。根据USMCA规则,墨西哥和美国应努力在最终报告之日起45天内就争端解决方案达成一致。
