India and Chinese Taipei have requested the World Trade Organisation's dispute settlement body not to adopt the ruling against New Delhi's import duties on certain information and technology products till Oct. 24 this year, as both sides are engaged in resolving the matter mutually.
The dispute settlement body had earlier agreed to six such requests from India and Chinese Taipei to delay consideration of the reports.
The ruling followed a case filed by the EU, Japan and Taiwan against these duties in the WTO.
Bilateral consultation is the first step to resolving a dispute. If both sides are not able to resolve the matter through consultation, either of them can approach the establishment of a dispute settlement panel.
