WTO chief: Onus is not on Beijing alone
The World Trade Organization chief said on Friday that terms of the Accession Protocol of China's entry into the WTO must apply to all members equally, while China urges EU to fulfill WTO obligations and stop launching unfair anti-dumping investigations.
"Clearly, the situation is ruled by the Protocol of Accession of China to the WTO" and the terms are not for negotiation, WTO Director-General Roberto Azevedo told a joint news conference after meeting with Premier Li Keqiang and other international organization chiefs.
Earlier this month, Li reiterated China's stance to call on the EU to follow Article 15 of the protocol, which says all WTO members should stop following subrogate country measures in anti-dumping cases against China by Dec 11.
