WTO establishes panel to review EU safeguard measures on steel imports

摘要

Members of the World Trade Organization have agreed to the establishment of a dispute panel to review a complaint filed by Turkey regarding the European Union’s safeguard measures on imports of certain steel products. The agreement was reached at a meeting of the Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) on Friday August 28, the WTO said. The European Commission (EC) imposed quotas on certain steel imports in February 2019, then reduced some of them in October the same year. The EC toughened the safeguard measures as part of a review on June 30, 2020.
