(P) because local producers are trying to protect the domestic market in the context of increasing imports, Russia's imports of chemical fibers and textiles may be significantly reduced over the next few years.

< /p >

< p > recently, some leading Russian "a href=" http:// Russia may conduct anti-dumping investigations on imported chemical fiber / Textiles > chemical fiber fabric < /a > producers and Russian textile light industry enterprises Federation presented two petitions to Russian Prime Minister Medvedev, requesting the import tariff of Russian chemical fiber and textiles from the current 10% to 20%.

< /p >

< p > according to the manufacturer, anti-dumping investigations into chemical fibres and textiles imported into other countries of Russia and Kazakhstan and Belarus customs union are needed, and EEC, a permanent regulatory body, is also involved.

< /p >

< p > manufacturers said in their official letters that Russia's accession to the a href= "//m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" > WTO < /a led to a marked increase in the import of textiles and related fibers and yarns to Russia, causing serious losses to local manufacturers.

< /p >

At the same time, the anti dumping investigation requested by manufacturers has also attracted criticism from some local clothing and nonwoven producers and related institutions. They believe that artificially restricting imports may have a negative impact on the development of related industries. P

< /p >

The official representatives of < p > > a href= "//m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp" > the Russian "/a" nonwovens Manufacturers Association (RANWP) believe that the potential restrictions of imports will lead to significant improvement in domestic production, but at this stage, Russian manufacturers do not yet have the necessary capability to implement mass production, and the technical conditions of most of the enterprises in the industry are still very poor.

< /p >

In addition, the Russian nonwovens market is far from saturated, and the increase in tariffs will lead to a decline in the supply of the domestic market. < p >

< /p >

The official representative of P EEC said: "in previous investigations, manufacturers required protective measures against various types of synthetic fibers, some of which were not produced by customs union members.

In this regard, it would be unfair to take protective measures under such circumstances, and also seriously violate some of the rules and regulations of WTO.

< /p >

< p > therefore, it is necessary to confirm the list of these chemical fibers and textiles that have increased rapidly.

If it does threaten clothing and nonwoven production in Russia and other customs unions, EEC will investigate the matter after the list is completed.
