WTO to Review EU Carbon Border Mechanism After Russian Challenge
Original: WTO to Review EU's Carbon Border Mechanism Challenged by Russia
The World Trade Organization will examine the European Union's carbon border adjustment mechanism following a formal challenge by Russia. Moscow argues the tariff on carbon-intensive imports, including steel and fertiliser, discriminates against non-EU exporters. The dispute adds to wider criticism of the mechanism from trading partners who see it as protectionist green policy, while the EU defends it as essential to meeting climate goals.
Why now: Russia has formally contested the EU's carbon border tax at the WTO, raising fresh tensions over trade and climate policy.
