key stumbling block in the on-going trade negotiations between the EU and the US known as Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Moran said hormone beef will be a key issue. EU consumers dont want hormone beef. That is clear. If you allow US hormone beef into the EU, EU producers could argue that if US hormone beef is being sold in the EU, why cant EU farmers use hormones?
That aspect of the negotiations will not be easy and will take some time.
