Complaint by South Africa (See also DS613)
On 15 April 2024, South Africa requested consultations with the European Union with respect to certain aspects of the import regime imposed by the European Union on citrus fruit from South Africa, in particular, the application of measures relating to the pest P. citricarpa (known as “citrus black spot”) that affect the importation of citrus fruit from South Africa. This is the second request for consultations by South Africa with the European Union concerning measures taken by the European Union related to the importation of citrus fruit from South Africa.
South Africa claimed that the challenged measure appears to be inconsistent with:
- Articles 1.1, 2.2, 2.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 6.1, 6.2, 8 and Annex C of the SPS Agreement; and
- Articles I:1, III:4, X:3(a), and XI:1 of the GATT 1994.
