So does anyone think we will see violent anti-Canadian protests that will swamp the streets of Seoul for months because of a possible beef agreement between the two countries?:

South Korea will restart negotiations with Canada on beef imports this week after a one-year hiatus, government officials said Sunday, with Seoul widely expected to reopen its market.

?? Seoul banned Canadian beef in May 2003 after a case of mad cow disease was reported in the country. The last round of talks was held in Seoul in late November 2007.

?? “Working-level officials from the two countries will hold technical consultations on beef imports in Seoul from Monday to Tuesday,” the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries said. “The meeting will be held at the request of Canada.”
Analysts said South Korea is expected to partially allow the import of Canadian beef, as it agreed to reopen its market to U.S. beef in April this year.

?? Canada has demanded that South Korea lift all restrictions on beef imports after the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) in May of last year gave Ottawa a “controlled risk” classification, which technically allows it to export all beef parts with the exception of certain specified risk materials (SRMs).  [Yonhap]
