AKIPRESS.COM - Ukraine has requested WTO dispute consultations with Armenia and the Kyrgyz Republic to discuss anti-dumping duties imposed by the two countries on steel pipes from Ukraine, the WTO said in a release.

Ukraine’s request was circulated to WTO members on 22 October.

The two dumping measures were maintained pursuant to a 2016 sunset review conducted by the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), which prolonged the original measures. The EEC is the executive arm of the Eurasian Economic Union, of which Armenia and the Kyrgyz Republic are both members.

Ukraine charges the measures are inconsistent with various provisions under the WTO's Anti-Dumping Agreement and Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
