Background:
On 21 January 2006 the Council of the European Union adopted a Regulation imposing anti-dumping measures on imports of farmed salmon originating in Norway. The Regulation imposes a minimum import price of EUR 2.80 per kilogram for farmed salmon (whole fish, fresh, chilled or frozen) from Norway, with the exception of one producer that was not found to have engaged in dumping. The minimum price is higher for various grades of processed fresh and frozen salmon. The Government has decided to bring the EU decision before the WTO Dispute Settlement Body.
