Canada: "The U.S. government continues its unfair trade practices, which are severely damaging to Canadian industry and jobs."

That amount is the annual cost to Canada's beef and pork industry since the U.S. imposed mandatory country of origin labeling requirements in 2008.

Brazil, the world's No. 1 beef exporter, is considering retaliation at the World Trade Organization (WTO) if the countries do not lift the bans.

The World Trade Organization has ruled that the United States must bring its country-of-origin labeling rules into compliance with an earlier WTO ruling by May 23, 2013.

The country has filed a complaint against the U.S. over its restrictions on imports of Argentinean beef and meat products.

The World Trade Organization ruled that the United States' country-or-origin labeling (COOL) rules gave less favorable treatment to beef and pork imported from Mexico and Canada than to domestic meat.

The World Trade Organization agreed to investigate Indian restrictions on U.S. poultry meat and eggs and decide whether the curbs break global commerce rules.

The United States on Tuesday began action at the World Trade Organization to open India's market for poultry meat and eggs, saying an Indian ban on U.S. imports intended to stop the spread of bird flu was not based on sound science.
