Glacé Cherries

Glacé cherries in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, glacé cherries is: a case brought before the GATT in 1992 by the European Community against Australia. The Australian Anti-Dumping Authority (ADA) had imposed countervailing duties on glacé cherries imported from France and Italy. The entries on trade policy are here. In reaching its decision of material injury to the Australian industry, the ADA had defined the industry to include the white cherry growers, the briners and the producers of glacé cherries. The European Community alleged that this contravened Article 6:5 of the Subsidies Code, one of the Tokyo Round Agreements, which requires that “domestic industry” has to be interpreted as the domestic producers as a whole of the like product. The European Community also alleged that since the Australian industry producing glacé cherries had increased its profits by 8% over the previous two years, it could not be said to have suffered material injury. The panel met twice to consider this case, but before it could make a decision, the European Community informed its chairman that it no longer wished to pursue the case.[1]
