Following Australia's suit against the World Trade Organization (WTO) for unfairly adding tariffs on barley by China, the WTO has decided to set up a subcommittee to enter the trial.

In December last year, Australia filed a lawsuit against the WTO, which is responsible for resolving trade disputes, for violating international trade rules regarding China's measures to add tariffs on Australian barley being imported unreasonably cheaply. ..



After that, bilateral talks between the two countries were held according to the procedure, but since it was not resolved, the WTO member countries discussed the response at the meeting on the 28th, and the subcommittee, which is the first trial of the trial, I decided to set up and enter the hearing.



Australia, which called for the installation, emphasized that "the WTO system will resolve the differences and vigorously protect the interests of producers."



Meanwhile, China claims that it is confident that the tariff additions are in line with the WTO arrangements.



China has taken steps to restrict imports of barley, wine and meat products in response to Australia's need for an independent investigation into the source of the new coronavirus, and trade between the two countries. Relationships are becoming more tense.
