    This document discusses the European cattle disease epidemics and bans in the late 1990s and early 2000s. It addresses questions about whether the EU ban on British cattle products was justified, the British government's strategy of non-cooperation within the EU, how the case might have differed without the EU, lessons for globalization, and whether vaccination should have been used. The document contains responses that the ban was justified to protect public health but also market stability, that the UK challenged the ban legally but also disrupted EU decisions, and that vaccination was difficult to implement effectively across the EU for various reasons.

    Cow Disease &

    Trade: The
    European
    Epidemics

    By: Jitin, Kriti,Mohit &
    Ojas
    Q1: Was the EU justified in banning cattle products? Was
    the immediate intent of the ban to prevent the market
    collapse, rather than to protect the public from BSE?


     Yes,
     They had to protect people
    from BSE , however the main
    intent was to prevent the
    market from collapse.
     If cattle from UK was not
    banned, entire Europe had to
    suffer in the world market.
    Q2: Evaluate the British govt’s strategy of non-cooperation
    within the EU


     Went to European court of
    justice, to prove the ban illegal.
     New set of Europe wide
    bankruptcy rules.
     Bloc more than 70 policy
    decisions.
     Bog down an intergovernmental
    conference on the EU’s future.
     Disrupt plan for a June EU
    summit meeting.
    Q3: How might this case have been different had the EU not
    existed ?


     Presence of EU expedited the
    spread of disease across the Europe.
     Made the member nations more
    dependent on the British cattle.
     Made it difficult to take the right
    action (commonly acceptable).
    Q4: What lessons for globalization advocates does this case
    raise ?


     Countries must strictly adhere to
    international norms & standards.
     Nations must reduce the level of
    dependence on other nations with
    respect to any product, service or
    raw material.
    Q5: Should the UK & rest of the EU vaccinate for FMD ?


     Yes, however this was not possible.
     It was difficult to distinguish biologically between
    animals that are infected & those that have been
    vaccinated.
     It was not affordable for some of the members of EU.
     Using vaccines will make EU loose its
    ability to reject low-cost meat from Russia
    Africa & S America, where vaccines are
    currently used.

    Thank You !!
