WTO rules against India, a victory for US solar companies

WASHINGTON

The World Trade Organization has ruled against India and delivered a victory to American companies that make solar batteries and equipment.

Rejecting India’s appeal of a February ruling, the Geneva-based trade group said Friday that India violated world trade rules by requiring solar-power companies use made-in-India equipment when they sell electricity to the government. U.S. solar exports to India dropped 90 percent after the country adopted the rules in 2011.

U.S. Trade Rep. Michael Froman said the ruling was a “clear victory” for U.S. solar manufacturers and workers.

The domestic content requirements were part of India’s efforts to build a homegrown solar industry.

Extradition OK’d of British man on US hacking charges

LONDON

A British man accused of hacking into U.S. military and government computer systems and stealing confidential information should be extradited to the United States to face trial, a judge ruled Friday.

Judge Nina Tempia said Lauri Love faces “extremely serious charges,” and his extradition would not be disproportionate.

At Westminster Magistrates’ Court, the judge said “I am satisfied Mr. Love’s extradition would be compatible with his [human] rights.”

She said Love, who has Asperger’s Syndrome, “suffers from both physical and mental health issues,” but ruled that the U.S. prison system is capable of meeting his needs.
