> The Canola Council of Canada welcomed the government's formal request for WTO consultations with China under the SPS agreement. The council says Chinese importers remain unwilling to buy Canadian canola seed and that the export licences of Richardson and Viterra are still suspended. Canola prices have fallen about 10% since the market access problems began in March.
