EU seeks 1.4 billion euro sanctions on Russia in WTO pork dispute

Published December 20, 2017 Updated December 20, 2017 11:43pm

The EU will submit the request to the WTO's dispute settlement body on Jan. 3, triggering a new round of litigation. Russia lost the WTO ruling in February, and agreed to comply by Dec. 6.

The EU said it had not done so and asked to be allowed to impose the sanctions at a value equivalent to the total relevant exports in 2013, increasing by 15 percent a year.
