Domestic Shoe Companies Continue Appeals To EU High Court On Anti-Dumping Cases

The Chinese government has set up an expert group's request for anti-dumping measures against China's leather shoes.

The Ministry of Commerce responsible person 9 pointed out that the EU anti-dumping law has discriminatory provisions against China, and the EU's anti-dumping investigations and rulings on Chinese leather shoes are unfair and pparent, violating the relevant rules of WTO and damaging the legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises.

The responsible person said that the EU has carried out trade protection for its footwear industry for 14 years. At present, there is no damage to the EU footwear industry. Extending the anti-dumping measures will not benefit the EU footwear industry, but will only harm the interests of EU consumers.

On the 9 day, the Chinese government sent a letter to WTO through the permanent mission of WTO (WTO) to set up an expert group's request on China's anti-dumping case against China's leather shoes.

Reporters learned from AOKANG group of leather shoes today that in 2006, five Chinese shoe companies such as AOKANG filed a complaint against the European Commission.

"But we will not give up," said Wang Zhentao, chairman of AOKANG group.

The Chinese lawyer, Pu Ling Chen, who is responsible for the case, told reporters that according to the provisions of European law, China will submit the litigation documents and relevant evidence materials to the high court by May 4th.
