European Union Initiates WTO Dispute against Colombian Duties on Frozen Fries

The European Union has requested WTO dispute consultations with Colombia regarding anti-dumping duties imposed by Colombia on imports of frozen fries from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany. The request was circulated to WTO members on 20 November.

The EU claims that the challenged measures are inconsistent with numerous provisions of the Anti-Dumping Agreement and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994.
