Dominican Republic industries want to take Haiti to court

Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic’s business leaders propose charging Haiti at the World Trade Organization and other international bodies for imposing non-tariff barriers to local exports, in the heels of Port-au-Prince’s months-long ban on the imports of eggs, chickens, and plastic products as of last week. Haiti’s Private Sector Economic Forum approved the restrictions against Dominican products Last week, and also asked their government to bolster controls at the border. Haiti’s measures prompted the Herrera and Santo Domingo province Industries Association to ask the newly inducted Trade Protection Commission be on the alert for any investigation initiated by Haiti on Dominican Republic’s alleged dumping.
