Question

A dispute over this good triggered a trade war with a 100% tariff on EU cashmere sweaters and pecorino cheese. Ernst Otto Stalinski argued that he had been kidnapped as part of a “war” (-5[1])over this commodity when representing the company Fyffes (“FIFES”). This good was the subject of a 1976 case that made it easier to ban cartels, United Brands v. Commission. In a series of GATT and WTO cases in the 1990s and 2000s, Latin American countries sued European ones over (*) preferential status to a group of former colonies for importing this good. Producers of this good that stuck with Gros (10[1])Michel (10[3])lost market share when Panama Disease encouraged a shift to its Cavendish (10[1])variety. An infamous Euromyth claims these objects must be straight rather than bent. For 10 points, name this fruit, the primary product of the company Chiquita. (10[1])■END■
