A concurrent resolution expressing the sense of the Congress in opposition to the third country meat directive by the European Community requiring individual inspection and certification by the European Community of United States meat plants and urging the President to take strong countermeasures should the European Community deny United States meat imports because of the unfair application of the directive.

Expresses the sense of the Congress that: (1) the administration should oppose the implementation of the European Community directive which will limit U.S. access to such Community's agricultural markets; (2) if the European Community denies U.S. meat imports based on unsubstantiated standards or standards not applied to all Community members, the administration should adopt countermeasures; and (3) the administration should communicate to the Community that the United States views the directive as inconsistent with such Community's obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
