Introduction
With the recent imposition of tariffs on steel imports, the announcement of aggressive new sanctions against Rusal (and others said to have close ties to President Putin) and US withdrawal from JCPOA, there can be little doubt that White House policy is having a direct and significant impact on commodity markets. In this, latest edition of In-Short, we look at some of the issues that could arise from the US withdrawal from the JCPOA as well as the European Commission’s recent notice concerning imports of steel products, which some have interpreted as a reaction to US tariffs on steel imports. We also review FOSFA’s newly published revised Arbitration Rules and discuss the possible impact of blockchain in international trade execution.
In this issue we cover: – Nixed – US imposes new sanctions on Russia
– From supply chain to blockchain: where can digitization make a difference in international trade and what is holding up progress – Changes to the FOSFA Arbitration Rules from 1 April 2018 – Heavy Metal? A review of the European Commission Safeguard Investigation into Steel Imports
