BRUSSELS, June 1. /TASS/. The European Union urges all countries against which the United States has imposed tariffs to dispute this decision in the WTO, Commissioner Cecilia Malmstr·m said on Friday.

The European Union does not see an opportunity to continue talks on the free trade zone with the United States after introduction of duties, Malmstr·m noted.
"We are not going to enter into any negotiations," she said.
