CCA industry partners

Throughout the CCA’s action against mCOOL, many industry partners have been instrumental in the success to-date. Click here to read the first, joint response to mCOOL from Canadian livestock producers.

Mexico


Canada-Mexico Partnership (CMP)

CCA participated in the CMP meetings in Cuernavaca, Mexico, March 23 - 24. The CMP is a collaborative forum for industries, businesses and other organizations from Canada and Mexico. The CMP included industry chaired working groups on cattle/beef and hog/pork issues as well as a broad range of other agriculture and non-agriculture areas.

The cattle/beef and hog/pork groups collaborated to approve a joint statement on U.S. Mandatory Country of Origin Labelling (mCOOL) [http://www.meatcool.info/Canada-MexicoPartnership_Statement.pdf ] that calls for the Canadian and Mexican governments to pursue a World Trade Organization challenge against the U.S. and for the cattle and hog industries of the two countries to continue working together in their common opposition to mCOOL.

U.S. cattle and meat industry

Both the American Meat Institute and the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association have been supportive, instrumental allies throughout the CCA’s actions against mCOOL.
