GENEVA Russia has filed a dispute challenging the European Union's energy market regulations, saying they violate international trade rules.
The World Trade Organization says Russia's case takes aim at an EU policy that bans suppliers from owning transit facilities such as pipelines. Europe gets about a quarter of its gas from Russia.
WTO officials said in a statement Thursday that Russia claims the EU regulations are "inconsistent" with international trade rules on subsidies, services and other measures.
At stake in the dispute is how much control Russia's state-controlled Gazprom gas company can exert over European pipelines.
The WTO says Russian-EU consultations at the Geneva-based organization would examine production, supply and transmission of natural gas or electricity, alleged discriminatory certification requirements, and access to network capacity by transmission service operators.

China imposed anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duties on imports of polysilicon from the European Union, the Commerce Ministry said on Wednesday, the latest move in a long-standing dispute over solar materials.
Solar panels were at the centre of a trade row last year after the European Union decided to impose anti-dumping duties on panels made in China.
Polysilicon is a raw material used in the manufacture of solar panels.
The ministry had extended its investigation into European polysilicon by six months late last year, citing "complicated circumstances", but imposed duties on South Korean and the U.S. polysilicon in January to protect its domestic solar producers.
Beginning on May 1 and lasting two years, anti-dumping duties of 42 percent will apply to German, Italian and Spanish companies, including Schmid Group, Joint Solar Silicon, MEMC Electronic Materials SpA and Siliken Spain, the ministry said in a statement on its website. The companies would also be subject to 1.2 percent anti-subsidy duties, it said.
The ministry said it has spared one company, Wacker Chemie AG, from duties because of the firm's "price commitments".
"If there is a violation of this price commitment or other termination of the price commitment, then anti-dumping duties will be levied according to the final ruling," the ministry said.
Relations between China and the European Union had soured over the solar industry disputes. They have also been involved in disputes involving other industries, including wine.
The European Commission, the EU's executive body, had accused China of dumping billions of euros worth of solar panels in Europe below production costs.
It had planned to impose heavy tariffs on Chinese solar panels but a majority of EU governments - led by Germany and wary of offending China and losing business - opposed the plan and sealed a compromise deal in July.
