LES POMMES DE NOUVELLE-ZELANDE

L'Australie ne veut pas des pommes néo-zélandaises.
Mais il y a du changement dans l'air:

Australia has promised a decision on whether it will accept New Zealand apples within weeks, Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Phil Goff says. (...)
Australia has barred New Zealand apples since 1921 because of fears the disease fireblight would be transmitted to its trees. However, the WTO's appellate body has previously ruled that the chances of mature apples carrying fireblight was negligible.
New Zealand's case was strengthened by a WTO compliance panel finding against Japanese restrictions on United States apples in June.
