BRUSSELS, May 6 (Reuters) – Canada has lost an appeal at the
World Trade Organization in a landmark case over incentives for
electricity producers, the European Union said on Monday, ahead
of the official publication of the appeal decision.
Japan and the European Union brought the case over a scheme
intended to promote green energy in the province of Ontario.
They said the incentives were illegal because they
discriminated against foreign firms, a complaint that was upheld
by a WTO adjudication panel in December 2012.
