Brazil requesting WTO consultation from EU
Brazil's government asked for formal trade consulations in the WTO with
the EU to question the legality of tariffs of up to 26% on certain steel products. The two products most affected include
tinplate from CSN and special steel bars from Villares Group.
The foreign ministry in
Brazil indicated their purpose is to discuss the possibility that safeguards which have been imposed might not conform to EU's international obligations within the international legal framework.
