Xinhuanet Brussels, June 30 (Reporter Wu Liming) The European Commission announced on the 30th that it will conduct anti-dumping investigations on labor insurance shoes from China and India.
EU spokesman for trade affairs, Claude, announced the decision at a regular press conference held by the European Commission on the same day. She said that the European Commission has received complaints from many European shoe-making enterprises, alleging that in recent years, unfair competition practices such as low-cost dumping of labor insurance shoes from China and India have required the European Commission to take measures to launch an anti-dumping investigation by the European Commission.
Claude said that the EU's anti-dumping investigation generally lasts from 1 to 15 months, but the European Commission hopes to get a preliminary investigation result in three months.
Figures provided by Eurostat show that in 2002, Europe imported more than 2.7 million pairs of labor insurance shoes in China. In 2004, it rose to more than 8.8 million pairs, and the price dropped by an average of 28%. In 2002, more than 160 labor insurance shoes imported from Europe in Europe. Wanshuang, which rose to 2.56 million pairs in 2004, the average price dropped by about 7.4%.
However, a spokesman for the Chinese Ministry of Commerce recently said that there are serious errors in EU trade statistics. At the EU press conference on the 30th, some reporters pointed out that among the figures provided by the EU, market share and import growth rate were very large. Crowder had to express the subsequent "more accurate" market share figures to reporters.
In an interview with Xinhua News Agency after the press conference, Claude said that the EU had communicated with the Chinese Ministry of Commerce before making this decision. A deputy minister of the Chinese Ministry of Commerce will lead a delegation to Brussels to negotiate with the EU.
The EU's procedures for taking anti-dumping measures against a product have four steps: 1. At least 25% of the companies on behalf of the industry can file an anti-dumping complaint before the European Commission will decide whether to initiate the investigation within 45 days; 2. Conduct anti-dumping investigations, generally lasting From one year to 15 months; 3. After 60 days of investigation, temporary protection measures of not more than 9 months can be implemented; 4. If the investigation conclusions believe that anti-dumping does exist, the EU Council of Ministers will formally finalize according to the recommendations of the European Commission. The penalty measures are for a period of 5 years but can be extended and extended. (Finish)
