ＷＴＯに小委設置要請　インドのスマホ関税上げ―政府

　政府は１９日、インドがスマートフォンなどの関税をゼロにするという約束を守らず、最大２０％の関税を課しているとして、世界貿易機関（ＷＴＯ）に対し、紛争処理小委員会（パネル）の設置を要請した。日本は昨年５月、ＷＴＯにインドを提訴し、２国間協議で関税撤廃を求めたが、解決しなかった。
　パネルが設置されれば、通例１年～１年半で判断が出る。ただ、新型コロナウイルスのまん延で、パネル設置の是非を協議するＷＴＯ月次会合は開催のめどが立っていない。（2020/03/19-19:58）

Japan Wants WTO Panel on India's Smartphone Tariffs

The Japanese government Thursday asked the World Trade Organization to set up a dispute settlement panel over India's tariffs on smartphones and some other electronic products.
   Tokyo says India broke its promise that it would scrap the tariffs of 10-20 pct, introduced between 2014 and 2019.
   In May last year, Japan filed a complaint with the WTO to launch bilateral talks with India to resolve the issue. But the talks ended in failure.
   If the panel is established as requested, a judgment would be made in 12 to 18 months.
   But because of the coronavirus pandemic, it has not been decided when the WTO will hold a meeting to decide whether to set up such a panel.
