EU proposes tariffs on US products, including Alaska pollock, wild salmon, lobsters

The European Commission has proposed tariffs on $20 billion (€17.7 billion) worth of US products as a countermeasure in the context of the ongoing Boeing dispute at the World Trade Organization (WTO).

The preliminary list of tariffs (pdf), which has been submitted for public consultation, covers a range of products including several fish and shellfish items.

Among the seafood products potentially subject to new tariffs are frozen Atlantic salmon, frozen fillets of Alaska pollock, frozen fillets of Pacific salmon, smoked Pacific salmon, frozen lobster, coldwater shrimp, scallops and squid.
