India may move WTO against US on duty hike

印度可能向世贸组织提出反对美国上调关税

NEW DELHI: The government is contemplating to approach the World Trade Organization’s (WTO’s) dispute settlement body against the US move to raise import duty on aluminium and steel.

新德里：印度政府正考虑与世界贸易组织(WTO)国际争端解决机构接触，反对美国提高铝和钢铁进口税。

Sources told TOI that detailed discussions have been held in the commerce department. Former officials dealing with WTO were also consulted on the issue. While a section believes that there is a case for a strong response, another view in the government is to wait for other WTO members to move the dispute settlement body so that India can then join in.

相关人士告知印度时报，商务部已经进行了详细的讨论。关于这一问题前任行政官员们也正与国际贸易组织协商处理。一部分人认为可能会有强烈的反对声音，另一部分的政府人员想法是等待WTO的其他组织成员成员能够解决这个争端并使印度能够加入WTO。

A senior government official said India also needs to be careful, given its massive interest in terms of presence of software and other professionals in the US as well as the large software exports. Software accounts for a little under half the services exports from the country, of which almost 80% is headed for the US, with American companies depending on Indian counterparts as well as professionals.

一位政府高级官员表示，印度大部分软件和其相关的专业在美国还很受欢迎，以及大量的软件输出情况下，印度也需谨慎行事。美国公司还依赖印度同行和专业人士的服务，软件服务占印度服务市场输出的一半以下，而其中近80%出口流向美国。

Trade tensions have increased in recent months with US President Donald Trump targeting India along with and other countries. Last week, the US sought consultations with India through the WTO dispute settlement body over half-a-dozen export promotion schemes. American authorities said these schemes were offering subsidies that impacted its business and workers.

近几个月来，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)针对印度、和其他国家的贸易紧张局势有所加剧。上周，美国通过世贸组织争端解决机构寻求与印度进行磋商解决，其中涉及六项促进出口的计划。美国当局表示，这些计划提供的补贴影响到了美国的企业和工人。

Officials said the US action on steel and aluminium had set a dangerous precedent, which had the potential of thwarting a rule-based trading system operating under the WTO regime. They added that currently the government is taking a legal view and a decision on future course of action will be taken soon.

官员们表示，美国对钢铁和铝采取的这一行动开启了一个危险的先例，在WTO运作体制下有可能阻碍贸易基本规则。他们还补充道，目前政府正在采取合法的法律，并在不久的将来很快作出一系列的行动。
