Australia Makes Submission on Chinese Cross-Border Subsidies in EU-Indonesia WTO Dispute

A recent WTO complaint filed by Indonesia against EU countervailing and anti-dumping duty measures on Indonesian steel imports involves several claims related to subsidies provided by the Chinese government. Australia, acting as a third party in the dispute, has now weighed in with a submission arguing that the subsidies are covered by the SCM Agreement and can be subject to countervailing duties.
