WTO panel set up in Chinese raw material export dispute
The Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) of the World Trade Organization has established a panel to examine complaints from the US, European Union and Mexico concerning China's export restrictions on raw materials.
China exercised its rights under the WTO and rejected the first request for the establishment of a panel, as Steel Business Briefing reported last month, but the three petitioners again requested the panel, and China cannot block a second request under WTO rules.
