Argentina appeals against WTO ruling on imports

[Zorro]

Argentina on Friday appealed against a ruling by the WTO which found that it had broken global trade rules by setting unfair requirements on goods exported by partners including United States, the EU and Japan.

Argentina's diplomats at the 160-member World Trade Organization lodged a formal appeal during a session of its disputes settlement body.

Last month, the WTO's trade watchdog arm had found fault with rules set by Buenos Aires and ordered it to fall into line.

Argentina's rivals in the dispute accused it of deploying protectionist trade policies, thereby denting their chances of getting fair access to its market.
