       In May 2003, after it was discovered a cow with BSE, also known as Mad Cow's Disease,  the United States banned the importation of Canadian beef and cattle. After the modification made by Canada's Federal Agricultural Minister on the exporting rules, that obliged the removing of brains and spinal cord from cattle older than 2 years and reinforced the surveillance on BSE, there was a lift on the ban in some U.S states. With the technology and meat safety increased, the ban was totally removed by 2009.

         Blocs are made to facilitate international trades by the reduction or removing of trade barriers such as tariffs and exporting licences. Example of economic blocs are: MERCOSUR (Southern Common Market), NAFTA (Northern Free Trade Agreement), and EU (European Union)

          The tariffs are used as a protectionist measure, adding value on the national products and goods. So that way, being the national products cheaper than the imported ones, the consumer invests in their own country, generating more jobs in their industry.

            Is a trade policy where trading countries are exempted from importing taxes and some licenses based on trade agreements, regulated by the World Trade Organization, and the European Union.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
