Intl court challenge impacts Turkey's auto safeguards
The Dispute Settlement Body at the World Trade Organization concluded that the additional tariffs imposed by Turkey on Chinese electric vehicles exceed the tariff commitments Turkey had made and violate the principles of nondiscrimination. The committee considered that Turkish measures discriminate against Chinese products. It recommended that Turkey amend its procedures in accordance with the 1994 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), which includes reducing tariffs or adjusting the import permit system. The recommendation is still subject to appeal before it becomes binding, but the suspension of the Appellate Body delays the implementation of the decision, giving China a legal leverage against Turkish trade restrictions.
