Abstract

The European Union and the United States are in the midst of the Great Banana War, a trade dispute over EU banana tariffs. The World Trade Organization authorized sanctions against the EU, effective until the EU modifies its banana tariff system to comply with WTO rules. Meanwhile, the EU's fonner colonies, the ACP nations, are caught in the precarious position of losing the EU's preferential treatment concerning the banana tariffs. This Note highlights the issues surrounding this conflict and advocates on behalf of the EU's latest re-configuration of its tariff system.
