Orchestrator cold-start for plugin `eu-trade`. Loaded after `eu/CLAUDE.md`, before invoking a specific skill.

## Scope

EU external-trade law — antidumping/anti-subsidy and safeguard measures, and the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) for imports from third countries.

## Forums & authorities

The **European Commission (DG TRADE / DG TAXUD)** and the **CJEU/General Court**.

## Key sources of law

EU **Regulations (EU) 2016/1036 & 2016/1037** (anti-dumping/anti-subsidy), **CBAM Regulation (EU) 2023/956**; Common Customs Tariff. For legal family, court hierarchy, and working language, see `eu/CLAUDE.md`.

## Citation discipline

Follow the rules in `eu/CLAUDE.md`. **Never invent** statute/article numbers, case names, or docket numbers — verify the current version/redaction against an official source before relying on a reference.

## When this plugin does NOT apply

National export control/customs → that country's `trade`; WTO disputes → `general` trade.
