China Shoes Wins EU Anti-dumping

The reporter recently learned from the website of the Ministry of Commerce and the China Leather Association that the European Commission had issued an announcement a few days ago that it announced that it would formally suspend anti-dumping duties on shoes produced in Vietnam and China starting March 31, 2011. This means that the last five years of anti-dumping of EU shoes in China will end at the end of this month.

It is understood that in order to protect the interests of some shoe manufacturers in southern Europe, the EU formally imposed anti-dumping duties on leather shoes imported from China from October 2006, with a maximum tax rate of 16.5%. On October 23 of the same year, five Chinese shoe companies including Aokang appealed to the EU's primary court. In October 2008, when the anti-dumping measures should have expired, the European Commission decided to review the anti-dumping case for leather shoes in China to determine whether to extend anti-dumping measures. During the review, the original anti-dumping measures still apply. In December 2009, the EU decided to review the anti-dumping measures for Chinese leather shoes for an additional period of 15 months. The plan should expire at the end of this month.

In April 2010, the EU Primary Court rejected the claims of five Chinese shoe companies. The Chinese government appealed to the WTO on April 8 and filed a request for an expert panel on China’s v. European Union anti-dumping measures against Chinese shoes, and officially activated the WTO Dispute Resolution Panel’s hearing process. In May of that year, Aokang decided to continue appealing to the European Union High Court after other shoe companies announced that they had waived the appeal.

Wei Yafei, director of the shoemaking office of the China Leather Association, said that the cancellation of anti-dumping duties on leather shoes provided conditions for Chinese companies to further expand the EU market, but should not be blindly optimistic. Although anti-dumping measures have been terminated, Chinese shoe companies must earnestly study the EU's laws and regulations on the export of leather shoes, standardize their own business practices, and abide by industry rules, and create a favorable environment for the export of Chinese shoe enterprises.

According to reports, the China Ceramic Industry Association is currently working with the Minmetals Chamber of Commerce to step up further consultations with the European Chamber of Commerce and related organizations, hoping to minimize the impact of anti-dumping on Chinese tiles. Relevant experts also stated that the EU's anti-dumping measures are undoubtedly a kind of trade protectionism. Chinese companies should actively respond to the investigation of the European Commission to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
