Canada appeases Kiwis on dairy

 Canada has satisfied New Zealand’s complaints about dairy import rules, ending a years-long dispute which is similar to U.S. complaints.


Now there will be a deadline for import permit holders to bring in dairy products from New Zealand. There will be penalties if they fail to meet the deadline and the permits will go to others.


The move is expected to result in up to $128-million in extra trade, according to New Zealand.
