December 13th hearing as central Europe Trade The largest sum and longest duration in history. Anti-dumping European Union exports to China leather shoes "Anti-dumping" has not yet stopped signs.

Yesterday morning, reporters learned from the shoe Association of China Leather Association that the EU footwear industry is now planning to review anti-dumping measures against imported leather shoes from Vietnam and China again. The current anti-dumping measures for leather shoes will expire at the end of March next year. According to EU law, the EU Industrial retrial appeal must be submitted before the end of this month.

The Deputy Attorney General Pu Ling, who has been acting as an agent in the anti-dumping case against China leather shoes, has said that the EU footwear Federation is likely to submit a retrial complaint before the end of this month as the old shoe makers in Italy and Spain continue to submit their appeals for review. Once the complaint is successful, the anti-dumping time limit for China's export of European leather shoes will be extended again.

The EU imposed a 16.5% anti-dumping duty on leather shoes originating in China in October 2006 for a period of 2 years. This is the largest anti-dumping case in the history of anti-dumping in China and Europe, amounting to 670 million US dollars. After the end of 2008, the case went into sunset review. In December last year, the European Commission again ruled that the anti-dumping duty would be extended for 15 months and expired in March 2011.

Wei Yafei, director of the footwear association of China Leather Association, said that the EU anti-dumping case on leather shoes had a serious impact on the export of Chinese leather shoes, and exports of European leather shoes continued to decline. In 2009, China's footwear export growth was almost zero.

AOKANG and other 5 Chinese shoe companies believe that the European Commission has violated the law in the course of the investigation. The judicial review was brought to the European Court of first instance in December 2006, and the result was rejected in March this year. In June this year, AOKANG filed a lawsuit against the high court of the European Union for a new trial. Now it has entered the trial procedure of the two sides and is expected to end early next year. At the official level, the Ministry of Commerce of China drew the world trade organization's ad hoc group to the anti-dumping case at the beginning of this year, and the ruling will be announced in March next year.
