WTO airs concerns on Philippines duties on vehicle imports Louella Desiderio © STAR/File WTO airs concerns on Philippines duties on vehicle imports MANILA, Philippines Members of the World Trade Organization (WTO) have raised concerns on the Philippines’ move to impose provisional safeguard measures on imported vehicles. Japan, Thailand, Korea, Indonesia and the European Union raised concerns on the provisional safeguard measure currently imposed by the Philippines on imported passenger cars (PC) and light commercial vehicles (LCV) during the WTO safeguards committee meeting held last Monday. These concerns include the provisional safeguard measure not meeting the requirement of being a response taken to unforeseen circumstances.

Auto workers claim sufficient standing to seek safeguard duties

BusinessWorld February 24, 2021 | 7:54 pm AUTO WORKERS who sought safeguard duties on car imports asserted their standing to file such a petition after being queried about whether they actually represent the industry. The Trade department imposed provisional duties on car imports after investigating an application from the Philippine Metalworkers Alliance (PMA), which claimed a decline in domestic employment after a surge in imports. As the Tariff Commission conducts its own investigation, lawyers representing auto companies and industry groups affected by the duties questioned the labor group’s standing to seek such a petition. Domestic manufacturers oppose the duties. PMA said it is a legitimate stakeholder in the auto industry because it represents workers whose job security was affected by disruptions in the production process.
