(Reuters) - U.S. rules on tuna labeling are inconsistent with World Trade Organization rules, the WTO's Appellate Body said on Wednesday, in a judgment that largely backed Mexico's original complaint against "dolphin friendly" labeling in the United States.

The Appellate Body found the U.S. labeling rules were not even handed and meant that competition on the U.S. market was "to the detriment of Mexican tuna products".

1. Where is your god now?

Well I wouldn't want to point out that I told them so, but I did say this was a bad idea, seeing how there is no workers rights attached to the US free trade agreements. Yeah it helped people get jobs around the world getting almost paid nothing is not something to boast about.
