Establishment of panels
back to topDS258:
United States — Definitive safeguard measures on imports of certain
steel products
The DSB agreed to refer New Zealand’s complaint to the
panel established on 3 June. The panel now has seven complainants: EC,
Japan, Korea, China, Switzerland, Norway and New Zealand; and 14 third
parties: Brazil, Chinese Taipei, Switzerland, Norway, Japan, Korea,
Thailand, Canada, China, EC, Mexico, Turkey, Venezuela and Cuba.
The US regretted that New Zealand had chosen to challenge
their safeguard measures which, the US said, were fully consistent with
WTO agreements.
The EC welcomed the establishment of a single panel and
reminded Members that Brazil was currently in the process of consultations
with the US on the same matter.
Japan and Korea welcomed the establishment of a panel and
the parties’ agreement to a single panel.
