The European Union may appeal the decision of the global trade organization in a dispute with Russia over energy adjustments, But as long as the WTO appellate body has not been formed, consider this message there will be nobody, But to execute the decision of the judges will not have to, told Last news source trade in Geneva.
"Both the EU and Russia have the opportunity to appeal, But, as you know, in the appellate body are not enough judges to consider the appeal ", - said the head of the Department. So, according to his statement, any appeal will go as if to nowhere, until will not be assigned to a fresh judge. But If no one of the parties do not appeal, the decision of the panel of judges will be assigned And the EU will be obliged to fulfill it.
there is an alternative appeal procedure, which previously agreed between the EU And 21 member countries of the WTO. However, in Russia their number is not included, for this reason the procedure in this case cannot be used.
If one of the parties appeal, then a hearing on it until will not, But will not be bound by the decision of the judges.
yesterday, a group of judges of the WTO was supported by Russian Federation in a dispute with the European Union about the fact that the methodology of EU energy adjustments applied in antidumping investigations, violates the rules of the organization. It is recommended that the EU bring its measures into congruence with WTO rules.
Russia hopes that a Union of European States will fulfill in good faith the decision And the access of Russian subjects on the European market will improve significantly, said the head of Ministry of economic development Maxim Reshetnikov.
under WTO rules, the decision of the panel of judges can be appealed to the appellate body, However that is not working since the end of last year because of the position of the United States.
