Commodity exchanges provide a place for those who buy and sell commodities to meet and to trade with one another. Acutal trading may be done in an area set aside for that purpose and often referred to as "the trading pit". Exchanges also establish trading rules and set uniform contract terms. They publish trade information and provide the means for investigating complaint and arbitrating commercial disputes.

By way of background, in 1997, the National Milk Producers Federation, the U. S. Dairy Export Council and the International Dairy Foods Association petitioned the Office of the U. S. Trade Representative to challenge Canada's dairy trade practices as inconsistent with its WTO obligations on export subsidies and market access. After bilateral consultations, the U. S. referred its complaint to a WTO dispute settlement panel in February 1998. At the same time, New Zealand filed a similar challenge to Canada's export subsidies and the two challenges were combined in early 1998.
