24 July, 2012 - The World Trade Organization Dispute Settlement Body on Monday adopted a report which supports China in its claim against the anti-dumping measures taken by the United States on Chinese shrimp and diamond sawblades exports.

The report was adopted without U.S. appeal, a development meaning its rulings are final. 

Sources close to the WTO said the United States has announced its intention to implement the rulings, while both parties informed the Dispute Settlement Body that they have agreed that the “reasonable period of time” for compliance will be eight months.
