18/01/2008 :: The WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) on 15 January 2008 adopted the panel report in the case brought by Norway against the anti-dumping measure imposed by the EU on farmed salmon. In its report, made public on 16 November, the WTO Panel concludes that the EU’s anti-dumping measure is inconsistent with WTO rules on 22 points. The overall scope and number of infringements is such that Norway believes the EU has no choice but to withdraw the anti-dumping measure. WTO rules provide that the EU and Norway should try to agree on a reasonable period for the EU to implement the WTO ruling. If there is no agreement within 45 days of adoption of the Panel report, the length of the implementation period will be settled through binding arbitration in the WTO within a further 45 days. The Norwegian Ambassador to the WTO, H.E. Mr. Eirik Glenne, made the following statement at the meeting of the DSB upon adoption of the Panel report. + More
