Russia to Raise Legality of Anti-Dumping Probes at WTO
24/03/2016 12:00
Russia will bring up at the World Trade Organization (WTO) the legality of conducting investigations into product sales below costs known as dumping, including probes initiated by the United States, Russian Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulyukayev said Thursday.
MOSCOW (Sputnik) – He singled out Washington for adopting a set of anti-dumping measures hampering free market access "that in our view are unlawful and damaging to Russian exporters."
"We will certainly bring up these issues within the framework of the World Trade Organization and will examine them consistently," Ulyukayev told reporters.
The WTO's next formal meeting on anti-dumping practices committee is scheduled for April 27, according to its website.
Russia has periodically found itself the subject of US and EU anti-dumping probes.
In 2009, Washington agreed to begin gradually lifting its Soviet-era restrictions against Russian low-enriched uranium imports from 2011.
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Arkady Dvorkovich, who oversees industry, pledged to Russian metallurgists earlier he would attempt to find a compromise in foreign anti-dumping investigations.
In February 2015, the European Union requested the WTO to establish a dispute settlement panel behind claims that Russia’s high import duties on a range of goods impeded EU trade. The trade organization decided to establish an arbitration group to resolve the EU-Russia dispute the following month.
Russia joined the WTO in August 2012 and faced repeated criticism from the 28-member bloc for what it claimed was Moscow's failure to meet its membership commitments.
