BRUSSELS, Jan 14 (Reuters) - The European Union escalated
its challenge at the World Trade Organization on Thursday over
Indonesia s export ban on nickel ore by requesting the
Geneva-based trade body form a panel to adjudicate on the case.
The bloc launched its initial complaint in Nov 2019 against
the export restrictions on raw materials, notably nickel ore and
iron ore, that are used to make stainless steel.
The European Commission, which coordinates trade policy for
the 27-nation European Union, said Indonesia s export ban on
nickel ore and domestic processing requirements for nickel ore
and iron ore were illegal and unfair for EU steel producers.
