This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Qatar has suspended its case at the World Trade Organization against the United Arab Emirates over measures it said were designed to isolate Qatar economically.

Doha launched a complaint at the WTO in that year over the UAE’s closure of its maritime border to Qatar, prohibition on Qatari aircraft entering its airspace, suspension of handling mail and closure of Qatari service suppliers’ offices.A three-person WTO panel had been set to decide on the case in the first quarter of this year.

A trade official said that the panel had agreed to do so. The panel’s authority to decide on the case will formally lapse if its work is suspended for more than 12 months. Qatar also won a separate case against Saudi Arabia at the WTO in June, when a panel told Riyadh it had breached global rules on intellectual property rights by failing to prosecute a pirate broadcaster of sports and movies.
