January 1st, 2004
BY KEITH NUTHALL
BANGLADESH has launched the first stage of disputes proceedings at the World Trade Organisation (WTO) in a row with India over its imposition of anti-dumping duties on Bangladeshi exports of lead acid batteries. Dhaka claims that New Delhi broke 17 WTO rules in its erection of the tariffs and has called for formal consultations on the issue at the organisation's headquarters in Geneva. Bangladesh alleges India has broken both the 1994 General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the WTO Anti Dumping Agreement.
