Indonesia Initiates WTO Dispute Complaint regarding EU Steel Duties

Indonesia has requested WTO dispute consultations with the European Union regarding EU anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed on imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products from Indonesia. The request was circulated to WTO members on 26 January.

Indonesia claims that the duty measures at issue and the investigations leading to the imposition of the duties appear to be inconsistent with the WTO's Anti-Dumping Agreement, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures, and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) 1994.
