Headlines with anchor Ken Richards (00:29) 2. After months of wrangling the World Trade Organization has issued its rulings on the banana trade war between the European Union and the US. The ruling is in favor of the US with negative consequences on the EU and Caribbean banana producers. The WTO ruled that the US has the right to impose stringent tariffs on a range of European products including bananas. EU Vice President and Trade Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan discusses plans to ask the Commission’s fifteen members to appeal but will abide the ruling. Jay Ziegler spokesman for the US states that imposition of the tariff is consistent with US rights and the decision is validation that the WTO dispute settlement process can work. Ecuador will lodge a counter appeal. Patrick Joseph Chairman of the St. Lucia Banana Corporation and Brigitte Granville, Head of the International Economics Programme at the Royal Institute for International Affairs in London speaks out on the negative effects on banana producers in the Caribbean.
