REF: STATE 4100
Portugal stands with the EU consensus regarding the EU - Beef
Hormones dispute rulings at the World Trade Organization
(WTO). Ana Coelho of the Economy Ministry's Office of
International Economic Organizations told us Portugal does
not have a specific position on the issue as the country
exports little beef and the economic implications for
Portugal from the revised list are small.
