On December 8, 2014, a World Trade Organization (WTO) Appellate Panel (the Panel) overturned the original panel’s decision, ruling that the U.S. had not acted in accordance with WTO law when imposing duties on Indian steel imports.  According to a news article, the WTO held that “the U.S. duties had wrongly penalized India for subsidizing steel exports by Tata Steel [and] the U.S. Department of Commerce had erred by saying [Indian state-run steel company] NMDC was a ‘public body’ under WTO rules.” The WTO also “asked the United States to bring [its duties on Indian steel] into line with its regulation.”  However, the Indian government still feels that “the findings help preserve the ability of the United States to address unfair subsidization by foreign governments.”
