At the April 30/May 1 2024 meeting of the WTO's Council for Trade in Goods, for which the minutes were recently circulated, a number of issues related to trade with China were raised.

This past week, CTM covered the following issues: Trade remedy cases: * China's countervailing duty investigation on EU dairy products * China’s expiry review of anti-dumping measures on rubber products * U.S. countervailing duty investigation on Chinese glass wine bottles * EU anti-dumping investigation on Chinese biodiesel * EU countervailing duty

On August 21, China's Ministry of Commerce announced that it started a countervailing (anti-subsidy) investigation on EU dairy products, the latest move that could further escalate trade tensions between China and the EU.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced final countervailing duty rates for glass wine bottles from China, and its reasoning in the case discusses the role of the CCP in Chinese companies.

China's Ministry of Commerce recently announced its ruling on the expiry review of the anti-dumping measures on chlorobutyl rubber from the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom and Singapore.

Last week, the European Commission issued Implementing Regulation 2024/2163, imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of biodiesel originating in China.

The European Commission announced today that it had made some adjustments to the provisional countervailing duties it previously set on imports of Chinese EVs, as part of the draft definitive findings given to the parties for review.
