EU Challenges China's Brandy Tariffs at WTO

The European Commission plans to contest China's provisional anti-dumping tariffs on EU brandy imports at the WTO, arguing that the measures lack justification. The Commission is committed to defending EU industry from what it perceives as misuse of trade defense mechanisms by China.

The European Commission announced on Tuesday its intention to challenge China's provisional anti-dumping tariffs at the World Trade Organization. These tariffs target European Union brandy imports.

A Commission spokesperson emphasized that the measures are unjustified, vowing to protect EU industries from what they see as an abuse of trade defense instruments.

This move underscores ongoing trade tensions between the EU and China, with both parties defending their respective economic interests vigorously.
