Geneva: The EU on Monday got the World Trade Organization to check whether Colombia had indeed modified its anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of frozen fries from Belgium, Germany and the Netherlands.
The WTO's Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) "agreed to a request from the European Union for the establishment of a panel to determine whether Colombia complied with an earlier WTO ruling which faulted Colombia's anti-dumping duties," a Geneva-based trade official said.
The dispute has been under discussion at the WTO since November 2019, a year after Colombia imposed anti-dumping duties on frozen fries from the three European countries.
Brussels said the measures announced by Bogota in November 2018 were unjustified and harmed European companies.
The case has moved forward under a temporary system set up by a number of countries in 2020 after a US-provoked collapse of the WTO's appeals body.
