Spain: The black olive calls on the Government to put pressure on the US

The cards have been put on the table regarding the penalty suffered by the export of Spanish black olives by the United States after the last word of the World Trade Organization (WTO), but the producer sector fears that this resolution will remain on wet paper and everything remains the same.
