US Senate Bill Would Limit Entry Of China Poultry

WASHINGTON – The United States would restrict entry of poultry products from China as part of a Senate spending bill assembled at the same time U.S. and Chinese officials met to resolve trade disputes.

The language was similar to restrictions adopted a year ago. Senators were expected to vote on the spending bill on Wednesday or Thursday. It would fund many federal activities for fiscal 2011 which opened on Oct 1.

China challenged earlier, stronger U.S. limitations before the World Trade Organization. A WTO dispute panel said this fall those measures broke international trade rules.
