EU files dispute against Russia over anti-dumping duties on light commercial vehicles
The European Union notified the WTO Secretariat, on 21 May 2014, of a request for consultations with the Russian Federation regarding anti-dumping duties imposed by the Eurasian Economic Commission on light commercial vehicles from Germany and Italy.
The measures at issue are anti-dumping duties on light commercial vehicles from Germany and Italy, pursuant to Decision No. 113 of 14 May 2013 of the College of the Eurasian Economic Commission.
The EU alleges that the measures are inconsistent with Russia’s obligations under various articles of the GATT 1994 and the Anti-Dumping Agreement.

What is a request for consultations?
The request for consultations formally initiates a dispute in the WTO. Consultations give the parties an opportunity to discuss the matter and to find a satisfactory solution without proceeding further with litigation. After 60 days, if consultations have failed to resolve the dispute, the complainant may request adjudication by a panel.
