KIEV, Dec. 11 - Ukraine's use of a legal loophole to raise trade barriers around its car industry, livestock farmers and other sectors met a barrage of criticism at the World Trade Organization on Tuesday, as a deadline expired for others to respond to its plan, Reuters reported.
Kiev's bid to raise tariff ceilings on 371 goods had already been condemned by trade superpowers such as the United States, the European Union and China, with many diplomats describing it as a potential threat to the entire world trading system.
