The World Trade Organization (WTO) has circulated the decision of an arbitrator regarding the dispute between the United States and the European Union over anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed on ripe olives from Spain. The case, formally known as DS577 United States - Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties on Ripe Olives from Spain, centers on trade measures taken by the US against Spanish olive exporters.

The arbitration process is part of WTO's dispute settlement mechanism, which aims to resolve trade disagreements between member countries. The circulated decision marks a significant step in addressing concerns raised by both parties about the impact of these duties on international trade.

Further details of the arbitrator’s findings are available in official WTO documents, including an addendum that provides additional context to the ruling.
