“…Therefore, by Russia only banning all pork and similar products only from EU, Russia would seem to be applying double standards by treating EU products differently from other trading partners (Ukraine and Belarus) and from those produced domestically. The effect of the unfair banned had resulted in major financial loss for EU in which why EU had to take this case up to the WTO [11].

“…This ban imposed by Russia, had a very significant negative effects toward the economy of EU especially decreasing the overall price point for pig products because of oversupply in the EU market. Furthermore, two parties have been engaging in very strong trading partner relation for years, Russia is the EU's largest trading partner and EU is Russia's biggest export market [11].…”

“…During the year of 2006 to 2013, the pig herd in EU has been decreasing by the amount of 10% in the 7 years' period. This phenomenon was due several reasons: restructuring process in some producers, increased productivity, higher feeding costs, lower profitability in the pork meat sector, and also new welfare rules forcing out less competitive farms [11].…”

This article attempts to discuss how WTO dispute settlement system address the case number DS475 -Measures on the Importation of Live Pigs, Pork and Other Pig Products from the European Union. Adopting the content analysis method, the authors stand for the European Union where it is thought that the policy of Russia applying the import ban on pork products of EU is such a blunder and might not bring benefit at all for both parties. The findings indicate that the embargo policy to Russia could generate a negative impact on the EU countries, especially for those who become key players in the industry.

The aim of this paper is to assess the economic impact of the Russian embargo from 7 August 2014 on certain agricultural food products from the EU, the USA, Norway, Canada and Australia. The effects of this economic sanction are analysed in the framework of a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with a particular focus on bilateral and total exports, production and welfare. The detailed, based on real trade data, calibration of the model allows for an exact identification of the sectoral shares and prohibitive tariffs aggregated to match the CGE model's sectoral level of aggregation. In addition, the paper carries on a validation exercise to compare the model's predictions with real trade data developments. The modelling simulation results show that the impact of the ban on total exports of the EU, the USA, Norway, Canada and Australia is limited. Total extra-EU exports decline by merely 0.12%. Nevertheless at a disaggregate level there are sectors-'vegetables and fruits', 'other meat' and 'dairy products' which experience two digit percentage change declines.

Cheap chicken in Africa: Would import restrictions be pro-poor?

Europe’s chicken exports to Africa have long been criticised for their negative effects on local producers. However, while cheap chicken imports may hurt African poultry farmers, the same cheap imports benefit African consumers and improve their access to affordable nutrients. A few African countries have established import restrictions, but it is unclear how such policies affect different population groups and whether the potential benefits for farmers outweigh the broader social costs. We use nationally representative household data from Ghana and a partial-equilibrium framework to simulate domestic household supply, consumption, and overall welfare effects of two hypothetical policies, namely a 50% import tariff on chicken and a complete import ban. Our results suggest that both policies would lead to increased domestic chicken prices with negative consumption effects that are much larger than the positive supply effects. Average poor and non-poor households in rural and urban areas would suffer welfare losses from these import restrictions. While many households purchase and consume chicken, relatively few produce chicken and only very few sell any chicken in the market. The findings imply that chicken import restrictions are not a pro-poor and welfare-enhancing policy. To compensate the few households particularly hurt by cheap chicken imports, targeted support measures would make more sense economically and socially than general import restrictions.
