EU trade chief Cecilia Malmstr\u00f6m has agreed to start a World Trade Organization consultation on the issue of Colombian anti-dumping duties on fries from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders told POLITICO today.<\/p>\n

The consultation will be the first stage of formal dispute settlement at the WTO. It gives all sides a chance to discuss the issue behind closed doors and try to find a solution. Should no agreement be reached in this stage, a panel can be established.<\/p>\n

Earlier efforts to come to terms with Colombia on the issue have not had \u201cany real effects,\u201d Reynders said upon arrival at the meeting of EU trade ministers today, adding that it is \u201cvery important\u201d for Belgium to get the Commission to start consultations at the WTO.<\/p>\n

Dutch Trade Minister Sigrid Kaag told POLITICO: \u201cIts very important [to act] \u2026 because this deals with a sort of contagious element, a precedent case: If they get away with it in this sector \u2026 then it can also happen in other sectors. And thats obviously very concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last week, the Colombian government announced anti-dumping duties on imports of frozen fries from Beligum, Germany and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n

The European Commission insisted it had not sat idle. It tweeted:<\/a> 19 \u201ctimes weve stepped up in the last year \u2014 ranging from ministerial meetings with national authorities to formal submissions in the WTO \u2014 to support the access of European frites to the Colombian market.\u201d<\/p>\n

CORRECTION: An earlier version of this article misstated the status of the duties. <\/em><\/p>\n
