- 1WTO to Review EU Carbon Border Mechanism After Russian Challenge●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.
