EU challenges China's dairy product probe at WTO

23/9/2024 19:24

        The European Commission launched a challenge at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) on Monday against China's investigation into EU dairy products,
        initiated after the European Union placed import tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
        
        This is the first time the European Union has taken such action at the start of an investigation, rather than wait for it to result in trade measures against the bloc.
        
        "The EU's action was prompted by an emerging pattern of China initiating trade defence measures, based on questionable allegations and insufficient evidence, within a short period of time," the commission said.
