WTO Panel Established to Review China's Complaint on India's Solar and IT Trade Measures
The World Trade Organization's Dispute Settlement Body has agreed to establish a panel to examine China's complaint against India's tariffs and incentives on solar energy and information technology products. China alleges these measures discriminate against its products and violate WTO commitments. India opposed the panel, arguing that the dispute settlement system should focus on genuine unresolved trade issues and maintains its policies comply with WTO rules. The panel will now review the consistency of India's measures with its trade obligations.
