EU and US still don't agree on alternatives to US solar safeguard tariffs


(MENAFN) The European Union and the United States have informed the World Trade Organization (WTO) in a joint filing that Washington has rejected Brussels' proposals to US safeguard tariffs imposed on solar products.

Moreover, there was no agreement on a form of compensation, but they said they will check the impact of the measures on trade flows and continue their discussions.

The WTO filing on February 15 mentioned that the EU and the US carried out consultations aimed at discussing documents related to the safeguard measure on solar products.

The EU suggested a form of measure that would be less disciplining for its imports such as a quota allocated by country or a minimum import price, but the United States rejected this.
