Peterson: COOL Repeal Not the Answer

I am disappointed in today’s ruling and will oppose efforts to fully repeal COOL. There are still several steps in the WTO process that must be met before any retaliation could go into effect so we should take the time to thoughtfully consider how to move forward.

House Agriculture Committee Ranking Member Collin Peterson today made the following statement after the World Trade Organization ruled against country of origin labeling.

“I am disappointed in today’s ruling and will oppose efforts to fully repeal COOL. There are still several steps in the WTO process that must be met before any retaliation could go into effect so we should take the time to thoughtfully consider how to move forward.”
