# Canada ramps up WTO case against China’s blocks on its canola seed…

> Canada succeeded in its second attempt to set up a WTO dispute panel over China's restrictions on canola seed imports, after China failed to block the move at a 26 July Dispute Settlement Body meeting. China suspended canola seed imports from Richardson and Viterra in 2019 and tightened inspections on other Canadian shipments. The Canola Council said bilateral talks had not resolved the dispute.
