The following is excerpted from a 5 November 2012 news item by the World Trade Organization.
China notified the WTO Secretariat on 5 November 2012 of a request for consultations with the European Union and certain member states. It alleges that certain measures affecting the renewable energy generation sector relating to the feed-in tariff programmes of EU member states, including but not limited to Italy and Greece, include domestic content restrictions and are inconsistent with the GATT 1994, the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures and the Agreement on Trade-Related Investment Measures.
