Description: The title is 'Fire Blight apples' an Australian man wearing a hat with corks walks an incredibly convoluted path beginning at a '1921' signpost and ending at a signpost reading 'The end of the road'. He says 'Jeez How unfair is that!' Context; The WTO determined that Australia's restrictions on New Zealand apples breached global trade rules. Under WTO rules any restrictions on trade must be based on a proper assessment of the risks using internationally recognised methods, as well as relevant scientific evidence. An interim report on NZ apples was issued in 2010. Australia was not happy with the result and appealed against the decision. On 29 November 2010 the World Trade Organisation issued its report on Australia's appeal and found in favour of New Zealand apples being allowed into Australia. New Zealand Trade Minister Tim Groser welcomed the decision as New Zealand growers estimate exports to Australia could be worth $US36 million a year.
