WTO creates two dispute settlement panels to review U.S. softwood lumber duties

According to CBC News, The World Trade Organization has agreed to establish two panels to examine Canada's complaint about duties imposed by the United States on softwood lumber imports.

The Canadian government requested March 27 that a panel be set up to examine the dispute after consultations with the U.S. in January failed to resolve the matter. It also requested a second panel to review the U.S. use of differential pricing methodology in its anti-dumping determinations.
