THE Ministry of Commerce has released its response to a World Trade Organization report on an European Union poultry tariff dispute.

China welcomes the expert panel’s support for its core request of the consultation, which affirms that the EU duck meat tariff quota has broken WTO rules, the ministry said in an online statement.

China regrets, however, that the expert panel did not support its proposal on the chicken meat tariff quota.

China has urged the EU to respect the WTO ruling, rectify the duck meat tariff quota and build a fair global trade environment.
