In an interview with the Berliner Morgenpost newspaper on Saturday, Bernd Lange, head of the European Parliament’s Trade Committee said he felt the EU should file a lawsuit with the World Trade organization over the US passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).

Ahead of a Monday meeting of the EU-US Trade and Technology Council where the IRA will be discussed, he said, “My assumption is that the negotiations between the EU and the US will not be able to help agree even on small changes in the implementation of the IRA. The basic structure of the IRA will remain in place. In this regard, I think it is necessary for the EU to quickly file a complaint with the WTO in the coming months.” He added that a lawsuit would demonstrate, “that the US’s actions are clearly not compatible with WTO regulations.”
