The United States (US) and India had consultations under the Dispute
Settlement Understanding of WTO in two different dispute matters, one
concerning restrictions by India on import of certain agricultural
products including poultry and the other concerning exorbitantly high
Countervailing duty (CVD) imposed by US on certain steel products
originating from India. Since consultations could not resolve the
issues, panels have been composed by WTO on the request of India and US
to resolve these disputes.
India considers that its arguments in both the disputes are well within its rights and obligations under WTO agreement and have significant merits to defend.
This information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Commerce and Industry Dr. D. Purandeswari in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
