EEC asks for GATT Panel to Study U.S. Wine Rules
- Share via
AP — The European Economic Community said it asked the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade to investigate new U.S. rules on wine imports that allow American grape producers to claim injury from subsidized wine imports.
The EEC Commission complained that the U.S. regulations violate GATT rules that a company complaining of injuries from imports must produce “a similar product to the one being dumped or subsidized.”
GATT, based in Geneva, Switzerland, was formed in 1948 as a legislative and negotiating body to regulate international trade relations.
