Non-violation

Non-violation in Global Commerce Policy

In this regard, non-violation is: a situation where a party to a multilateral trade agreements under the WTO acts according to the legal provisions of the agreement, but still manages to nullify or impair the rights of another party through its actions. The offending measures must alter the competitive conditions established by agreed tariff bindings or bound commitments for redress to be available through the non-violation procedure.

A recent example of non- violation was the undermining of a tariff binding through domestic subsidies such as happened in the case of European Community assistance to oilseed producers. Non-violation cases can be dealt with under the WTO dispute settlement provisions. See also Australian subsidy on ammonium sulphate, nullification or impairment and oilseeds case.[1]
