WTO - India files dispute against Turkey
ON 13 February 2012, India requested consultations with Turkey under the dispute settlement system concerning the latter's safeguard measures on import of cotton yarn (other than sewing thread).
The request for consultations formally initiates a dispute in the WTO. Consultations give the parties an opportunity to discuss the matter and to find a satisfactory solution without proceeding further with litigation. After 60 days, if consultations have failed to resolve the dispute, the complainant may request adjudication by a panel.
