WTO Dispute Settlement: Anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures

This procedure codifies the rules for how the European Union implements decisions made by the World Trade Organization (WTO) Dispute Settlement Body. It ensures that when the WTO finds EU trade measures—specifically those regarding anti-dumping or anti-subsidy duties—to be inconsistent with international trade law, the EU has a clear legal process to bring its laws into compliance.

This affects companies exporting to or from the EU and government bodies managing trade defense. It streamlines the legal framework for adjusting tariffs and trade barriers to avoid trade conflicts and ensure fair competition.
