pinto + 293 PZ January 29, 2019 The United Arab Emirates has filed a complaint against Qatar at the World Trade Organization saying Doha has imposed a ban on Emirati products, UAE state news agency WAM said on Tuesday. The UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt have imposed a diplomatic, trade and transport boycott of Qatar since June 2017 over allegations Doha supports terrorism, a charge Qatar denies. Qatar filed in July 2017 a wide-ranging legal complaint at the WTO to challenge the trade boycott by the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The case is still ongoing. “The UAE’s action comes after the Qatari ministry of economy banned the sale of consumer goods manufactured in the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt,” WAM reported. The report did not state when the complaint was filed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

damirUSBiH + 327 DD January 29, 2019 There is already a dispute between these two countries in the WTO, with Qatar initiating one in 2017 regarding the quartet's blockade. The UAE says that Doha is now "violating the very same rules it claims the UAE is violating".... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pinto + 293 PZ January 29, 2019 This is hilarious... They are so petty, they are probably envious that Qataris now enjoy delicious Turkish or German chocolates at all their grocery stores... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
