      abstract = {The long-running feud between the US and the EU was the  first to be disputed formally
at the WTO. It provides a  classic example of how cultural differences with respect  to
food attributes have the potential to hamper trade and  to challenge WTO agreements
designed to limit the  disruptions, especially when scientific evidence is limited  or
spurious.
After outlining the legal arguments used by  the parties to the Hormones dispute, simple
economic models  are used to represent the EU beef market and effects of the  hormonetreated
beef ban and its removal under certain  conditions. The implications for the
practical  implementation of the SPS Agreement are then explored.},
