WTO panel created on EU carbon border tax after Russia's request

Original: The WTO has created a commission on the dispute with the EU over CBAM at the request of Russia

The World Trade Organization has established a dispute panel examining the EU's carbon border adjustment mechanism (CBAM), following a request from Russia. Moscow argues the carbon levy discriminates against its exports, particularly metals. The move sets up a formal WTO review of whether the EU's climate-related import charge complies with global trade rules, with a ruling expected only after a lengthy procedure.

Why now: The EU's carbon border tax is a contested trade measure affecting major exporters, and formal WTO proceedings draw wide attention.
