The WTO will consider the first complaint taken by one CER partner against the other next Tuesday when New Zealand's apple case is considered. There is a good summary in the International Herald Tribune (interesting that there is more detailed reporting in the IHT than most NZ newspapers).
It is a great shame that things have come to this, but Australia has consistently opposed New Zealand arguments for adding a bilateral dispute settlement resolution section to CER. So it serves Australia right on two grounds. Failure to agree to this sensible decision from NZ and for excluding New Zealand apples on dubious grounds.
