In July 1st, the reporter was informed that the EU decided to import from China. leather shoes An anti-dumping duty period of up to 16.5% has been extended for 15 months, and 5 Chinese shoe companies such as AOKANG shoe Limited by Share Ltd and Zhejiang have appealed to the European Union High Court the day before yesterday. The Chinese attorney general Pu Ling, who joined the first WTO case, acted as the Chinese attorney for the case. He said that the EU anti-dumping court decision against Chinese enterprises was unfair.

It is understood that the WTO dispute settlement body (DSB) has formally established an expert group recently, and will review the relevant provisions of the basic law of the European Union and the EU anti-dumping measures against leather shoes in accordance with WTO rules.

At the same time, some protection clauses for developing countries will make the plaintiff win a higher rate in developing countries.

Since October 2006, the EU has imposed 16.5% anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes for a period of two years. In November 2009, the European Commission made products to China and Vietnam. leather shoes The sanctions were extended for 15 months and were finally approved.
