    WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- The United States, joined by the European Union and Canada, is filing a trade case on Friday against China on auto parts at the World Trade Organization, U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab announced Friday.

    "This morning the United States will be requesting the WTO to establish a dispute settlement panel regarding China's treatment of U.S. auto parts," Schwab told reporters during a conference call.

    "We are joined in this case by the European Union and Canada," she added.

    The United States and its allies are charging that China has erected illegal barriers to the sale of U.S. and other foreign-made auto parts in the country.

    Schwab said that the United States and its allies had tried to resolve the dispute through negotiations with China but had been unable to do so.

    "China's current stance leaves us no choice but to file a trade case," Schwab said. Enditem
