question 21

Essay

Canada objects to a recent measure that India has introduced on automobile manufacturing in the Indian market. In essence, the Indian government has announced that it is allowing automotive manufacturers that establish plants in India to import 500,000 foreign- made vehicles into the country duty free annually, giving them a substantial advantage over other automobile manufacturers that do not but want to export to India. Canada believes that its automobile manufacturers who do not so invest will be discriminated against, and decides to challenge the Indian measure before the World Trade Organization (WTO). What relief can it seek?
