On January 27, 2017, the World Trade Organization (WTO) issued a panel report in Russia — Anti-Dumping Duties on Light Commercial Vehicles from Germany and Italy. The panel concluded that Russian duties applied to light commercial vehicles imported from Italy and Germany were in violation of WTO law. According to a press release by the European Union, “Russia failed to observe a number of WTO rules when introducing the anti-dumping duties in 2013” including “excluding certain domestic producers from their calculations” and disregarding “the overcapacity in the Russian LCV sector, which stood at that time at seven times what is actually sold on the Russian market.” The report is subject to appeal by the Appellate Body.
