Sep 01st, 2012 - 01:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is now a 4th rate country.
Refreshing to see she hasn't blamed this on the Falklands.
Sep 01st, 2012 - 02:20 pm - Link - Report abuse 0USA and EU calling Argentina protectionist is like the pot calling the cattle black. Maybe arming terrorists in Mexico, Colombia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria to kill Muslim women and children in school and religious buildings is more diplomatic then dictating national laws that keeps the security of the Argentine state. Bias stand is a common occurrence with English speaking news outlet and nationals, good try lemmings but who is falling for this BS besides the English speaking retards.

“Argentina officially lodged beef with US” would be a better headline.
Sep 01st, 2012 - 03:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But I think Pirat-H has trumped that with:
[US] “ pot calling the cattle black”
Genius!
#4 it doesn't surprise me or disappoint me to hear the truth sound like crap to people who only feed their mind crap. English speaking people don't know the difference between tuth and BS as long as it serves their interests, I think selling weapons to terrorist in Colombia, Mexico., Afghanistan, Iraq, libya and now Syria is more of a problem then the Trade dispute,but WTO is always distracting everyone to keep everyone from confronting the most serious issues, the gun traffic into poor nations by developed nation is one of the most obvious issues exposing WTO bias double standards. IMF and WTO are tools of theft and murder.
Sep 01st, 2012 - 04:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No wonder that Argentina has so many mental health facilities.
Sep 01st, 2012 - 04:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Once again PH fails to stay on the subject of the article. Lack anything factual about the article to say and go off on some irrelevant rant outside the topic.
Sep 01st, 2012 - 04:36 pm - Link - Report abuse 0If you need to USA so much to import your beef, raise them to the standards of the USA holds for it's own beef.
By the content of your posting.....I say you will be old enough to vote next year in argentina at ......16 when you graduate from la campora.....very indoctrinated.
Wot a nuvver one!!!!!!
Sep 01st, 2012 - 06:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0All of this commotion and they don't even have meat to export! Their herds are decimated! They can barely supply the internal market!
Sep 01st, 2012 - 11:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#9 if exposing WTO bias rules and dubble standards is not part of the topic what do you think this beef dispute is all about?? It isn't aimed at increasing sells of Argentine meat and lemons to USA when we all already know the outcome of the dispute, a 10 year stand will not be undone with a 1 day WTO ruling, This issues go on for decades and WTO is there to only prolong the blood shed and suffering of more then a billions souls.

Sep 02nd, 2012 - 06:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0The only reason the USA bans Argentine meat is because of fear of competition. So they use the Foot and Mouth issue as a smoke screen. Patagonia has NEVER had that disease in decades, yet they still ban it. This is just another example of Americans being a society that has no concept of the word honorability, the term is foreign to you.
And no matter how much you or yankeeboy try to cry, deny, shout, and pout, virtually any piece of meat you buy in Argentina is healthier overall than American meat. Sorry, but those are the facts.
Toby, Afraid of competition? Your country is too small to compete with the USA. You can't even supply your own market even if you shipped every cow you produce here it wouldn't make a difference. You can't even fill the Hilton quota!
Sep 02nd, 2012 - 09:37 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is all hot air CFK is trying to distract the other 1/3 of the world that is suing you at WTO. You have a filthy dishonorable country that won't live up to its commitments, Arg will never change.

Wow, Troll, you slipped that time!
Argentina's beef shortage was projected back in 2010. Overall exports this year alone are down 38%and this is becasue of Russia and Venezula:

Perhaps it also has to do with the worlds largest slaughter house (Brazil) pulling out of argentina because of the impossile business environment to deal with in argentina. They closed 5 of 6 slaughterhouses in argentina.
argentina cannot supply their own people and yet the are concerned over sanitary standards of the USA import requirements? Once again argentina snubbing their own people.

Ah Argentina is trying to find ways to slip faster into the abyss.
Sep 02nd, 2012 - 02:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Have fun with that....
#12 you are 100% right USA doesn't like competition or fair fights.
Sep 02nd, 2012 - 03:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0USA has the worst beef in the world full of chemical and pesticide, the meat doesn't even taste right anyone who taste healthy beef could tell the difference between Argentine beef and US beef. No comparison the Argentine meat taste a lot better. Well it taste like meats compared to half bred cow clone.

Sep 02nd, 2012 - 05:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Oh you were talking about cows!!!, at first I thought you were comparing sucking off an Argentine man compared to an American man since you usually can't seem to get off the topic of being a homosexual Argentine living in North America.
PH do you piss on yourself when they inject the drugs into you to believe the propaganda they feed you, of do ask ask for an enema? One you've never been to the USA so you continue to speak with the credibility of tits on a bull. If you knew noting you know too much. Last year alone the USA imported 80 billion U$ in beef from countries that complied with sanitary standards the the USA holds for it's own beef. Argentina can't even supply it's own demand so why the hell would ass lips want to export?
Sep 02nd, 2012 - 06:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina's worldwide beef exports have also declined overall because of the massive tax she introduced on beef exports and her brainstorm plan backfired and beef exports dropped. If you recall her April 2012 speech, she is curtailing tax on beef exports....a little too late.
Tell la campora to give you statement that can be supported.
Here is the 2006 rg fmd outbreak reported in Corrientes and slaughtered 3000 cows.

#18 I realize flaming homosexuals might be fixed with perverted thoughts and have difficulties focusing on the subject of a news reports, You are excused but the homosexual blogs is not mercopress despise the fact that is full of brits trolling on it. Go back in the closet and STFU.
Sep 02nd, 2012 - 09:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0#19 no but I piss on every english speaking retards exposing their ignorance to us Argentine's, insulting me isn't going to make the USA half bred cow clone taste like real cow meat, try the meat yourself don't take my word for it I am more then 100% sure you will come to my same conclution and end up wondering why you never noticed, I don't need la campora to tell me anything when I eated the meat and found how much better Argentine cow meat taste. Believe what you want its your loss, I on the other hand like to eat 100% real cow beef.
Which typeof beef did you eat is the USA.....I mean what bred and gradeand where?

PH no one really needs to insult you as you do a fine go of it by just typing your thoughts.

Sep 03rd, 2012 - 02:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 0At this time of year Chile has to import tonnes of beef to meat the demand for national day celebration asados.
In the last few years the quantity of Argie beef has declined significantly. I don’t know the exact reason, but I believe it is to do with reduced production and bizarre export taxation which makes it uncompetetive.
The supermarkets stock beef from Brasil, Paraguay, USA, Australia and seldom Uruguay.
The fact that we have to import beef from the other side of the Pacific and the USA, when we have Argentina next door, I think highlights how serious Argentina really is about exporting beef to the USA.
I have lived in Scotland (home of Aberdeen Angus) and Calgary (Cow Town Canada). In both places the locals will tell you their beef is best, but being objective there is good and bad beef everywhere. I mean a cow walks about and east grass, how much difference can there be between a Scottish cow and a Chilean one?
My favourite cut for the asado is Lomo Vetado (Bife Ancho in RG). I have found little difference between the quality from different countries other than the surprise that beef from USA and Australia is fresher than from Brasil and Paraguay.
The big difference in taste and tenderness comes by selecting by breed regardless of origin: Angus and Wagyu being far superior to standard.
24. About 10 years ago Rgs started using feed lots. There is no requirement for labeling “grass fed” so nobody knows what you are actually buying until you taste it.
Sep 03rd, 2012 - 03:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0My last few trips to BA have been met with inferior quality beef and I go to really expensive restaurants ( for Rgs anyway). In my opinion the grass fed beef in the better restaurants here in the USA is tastier at least you get what you are paying for.
Well done to Cristina and Argentina for once again standing up to the arrogance and hypocrisy of the rich countries

Correct me if I am wrong but aren't most Argentine cows grown on grass?? I know you can pump them up with steroids and GMOs but isn't a grass grown cow healthier then some pumped up cow??

How difficult is it to attain a trade deficit when you stop buying and importing most everything you need to created something. Those empty shelves on stores don't mean anything? Maybe it's only in BA. Of course ass lips is not missing anything, including her botox.
