Which of the following scenarios may be inconsistent with the WTO Agreement on Rules of Origin?
1. A US livestock company, a subsidiary of a Canadian company, imported one-year old calves from Canada to the US. Bred for two years, those calves were to be slaughtered and exported to certain Asian countries where Agreements of FTA were entered with the United States. However, the US Government declined to regard the beef exports the country of US origin.
2. A Taiwanese fishing farm imported from abroad groupers (石斑魚) of less than three-month old to breed in Taiwan. A year later, those groupers were granted by the taiwanese government the Taiwan origin and exported to mainland China.
It has to be two all the way.
