EU-Russian tariff row : The European Union has lodged a complaint against Russia with the WTO, accusing it of levying excessive taxes on several categories of products, including paper and cardboard, palm oil and its derivatives, refrigerators and combined refrigerator-freezers. Under WTO rules, Russia has 60 days to settle the issue in direct talks with the EU. If no solution is found, the EU could escalate the dispute by asking the WTO to adjudicate. RAPSI
