U.S. to Pursue Case Over EU Tariff System
- Share via
The Bush administration gave notice that it would pursue an unfair-trade case accusing the 25-nation European Union of operating a confusing tariff system that harms the ability of U.S. exporters to make sales.
The administration alerted the Geneva-based World Trade Organization that it wanted a hearing panel formed after failing to resolve differences in negotiations with the EU.
The office of U.S. Trade Representative Robert B. Zoellick contended that there was a problem with lack of uniformity in administering border taxes that would become worse now that the EU has expanded from 15 to 25 member countries.
