WTO Appellate Body rules against Chinese restrictions on access to rare earths and other raw materials (E.C.)
European Commission, Press release, Brussels, 7 August 2014:
The Appellate Body of the World
Trade Organisation (WTO) today ruled in the EU’s favour. It confirmed
the findings made by a Panel in March 2014 that China’s export
restrictions on rare earth, as well as tungsten and molybdenum, are in
breach of WTO rules. Backing the claims of the EU and its
co-complainants, the US and Japan, the WTO found that China’s export
duties and quotas were not justified for reasons of environmental
protection or conservation policy.

Russia brings case against EU over energy regulations. - World Trade Organization
Russia requested consultations with the European Union (EU) over the latter's regulations in energy sector, starting the first step in a dispute against EU to the World Trade Organization (WTO), announced the world trade watchdog here on Thursday.
The EU measures in question were called "Third Energy Package", a legislation for an internal gas and electricity market which came into force in September 2009.
The package was aimed at further opening up the markets in the region by "ownership unbundling," which requires the separation of companies' generation and sale operations from their transmission networks.

Russia sues EU over Third Energy Package
Russia has filed a lawsuit with the World Trade Organisation (WTO)
against the European Union over the Third Energy Package, a Russian
source close to the case told ITAR-TASS on Wednesday, April 30.
“This procedure is provided for in the rules of the Organisation,” the source said, adding that “Russia sent a note to the EU Mission at the WTO and notified the WTO Secretariat thereof”.
The Russian Ministry of Economic Development said earlier it was planning to file such a lawsuit before the end of the first quarter of 2014. In late 2013, Russia filed a lawsuit against the EU over energy adjustments.
