Who will be consulted before the EU list is submitted to the WTO? [br] [origina

16. The European Union has drafted a list of US products to be hit with import taxes in retaliation for tariffs the United States has imposed on European steel. EU member governments will review the list before the EU submits it to the World Trade Organization, which arbitrates international trade disputes. EU officials won’t say which American products will be hit by the EU sanctions. But diplomats monitoring the most recent transatlantic trade dispute say they include textiles and steel products.
17. Scientists in Brazil claim they’ve come up with a new way of treating burns. That is, with frog skin. Researchers say it’s cheap and effective. The frog skin has components that diminish the growth of bacteria, making the wound heal faster and reducing the amount of time that the patient has to stay in hospital. Researchers say the method has already been successfully used in some hospitals in Brazil.
18. A United Nations’ report said humans are very likely the cause of most of the temperature increases in the last fifty years. The scientists say there’s a greater than a 90% chance that greenhouse gases are the main cause of rising temperatures and sea levels. The report also Jinks global warming to other changes including increased dryness in some areas and violent storm patterns. The report makes no policy proposals, but the aim is to press governments and industries to cut the release of carbon dioxide and other gases for trapping heat.
19. Last week, we discussed a new study of injuries in physical education classes in American schools. The number of students taken to hospital increased 1. 5 times from 2005 to 2017. As few injuries were serious, why do people treat them at emergency rooms? One possible reason: a shortage of school nurses. Amy Garcia agrees with this. She’s the executive director of the National Association of School Nurses. She says federal guidelines call for one nurse for every 750 healthy students. In reality, she says, the number is more like one for every 1,100. Each state is different. The association says Vermont has one nurse for every 275 students. In Utah, which has a bigger population, each nurse is responsible for almost 5,000 students.
20. In less than one year, the global community has made tremendous progress in addressing the numerous issues that negatively affect our climate. Last December, nearly 200 countries concluded negotiations of the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit the temperature increase to 1. 5 degrees Celsius. The agreement entered into force in November 2016. Around the same time, the International Civil Aviation Organization adopted an unprecedented global market-based measure that puts the international aviation industry on a path toward sustainable, carbon-neutral growth.
