Plain-English summary
Expresses the sense of the Senate that: (1) South Korea has erected an unfair trade barrier against U.S. citrus imports under the guise of a health (Alar) concern; (2) the South Korean Government should condemn false claims of Alar in U.S. grapefruits; (3) the South Korean Government should accept the use of standardized chemical residue tests; and (4) the United States will not tolerate the practice of erecting agricultural trade barriers disguised as health claims.
