July 28 2008 Country News Australia

Goulburn Valley orchardists fought a losing battle to prevent apple imports from New Zealand and after Biosecurity Australia gave permission for the trans Tasman trade, Australia is now fighting a rear guard action in the World Trade Organisation to defend the import conditions.
