/0 Comments/in /by

On January 6, 2020, the US Trade Representative (USTR) published in the Federal Register a notice that USTR has determined to revise the action being taken in the Section 301 investigation, “Enforcement of US WTO Rights in Large Civil Aircraft Dispute,” to mirror the approach taken by the European Union (EU) in exercising its World Trade Organization (WTO) authorization in the Boeing dispute. In implementing this approach, the USTR has determined to revise the action by adding certain products of certain EU member States to the list of products subject to additional duties.
