According to a World Trade Organization ("WTO") press release,
on October 15, 2012, Mexico notified the WTO Secretariat that it is
requesting consultations with China concerning several measures
allegedly taken by China to support the production and exports of
clothing and textile products. Mexico has reportedly requested
consultations "because China appears to maintain a wide variety of
measures that support producers and exporters of apparel and textile
products, both directly and indirectly," and that "these measures appear
to involve both prohibited and actionable subsidies that are
inconsistent with China's obligations under the Subsidies and
Countervailing Measures Agreement, GATT 1994, the Agreement on
Agriculture, and China's Accession Protocol."
In related news, the WTO Appellate Body has circulated its report in China—Countervailing and Anti-Dumping Duties on Grain Oriented Flat-rolled Electrical Steel from the United States,
upholding the Panel's earlier findings that China's imposition of
countervailing and anti-dumping duties on grain oriented flat-rolled
electrical steel ("GOES") from the United States were inconsistent with
China's commitments and obligations under the Anti-Dumping Agreement and
the SCM Agreement.
