Where the government of a WTO member believes that another WTO member is violating an agreement or a commitment it has made in the WTO, the dispute is referred to the WTO’s DSB.

* KEY TERMS

  2. Anti-subsidy measures: measures, e.g. countervailing duties (that neutralise the negative effects of subsidies), imposed by the EU on imports that are subsidised and thus injure EU industry producing the same product.
