Broad net Beijing on October 18 news according to sound of “News Vertically and horizontally” 7:10 China a report, in October 12th, many involve “European Union leather shoes counter-antidumping case” the Chinese shoes business receives the official disclosure letters which European Commission has sent. In the letters indicated: European Commission will suggest that lengthens to leather shoes anti-dumping measures in Chinese and Vietnam again for 15 months, the tax rate maintains invariably, is 16.5%. Although this resolution is not the final expired reexamination ruling result, but also needs to wait for final voting by ballot of European Union Parliament. But looking from the present result, the trade protectionism still occupied the winning side in European Union.
Starting from October, 2006, European Union started to Chinese and Vietnamese leather shoes levies 16.5% antidumping taxes, past 3 years, leather shoes enterprise day in China passed very difficultly. China lost toward Europe’s surface shoes output reduced 20%, caused China approximately 20,000 workers to lose the work. Now, antidumping customs duty extension “nightmare” also will very likely continue, but the domestic shoes business has not given up contradicting.
Leather shoes enterprise: We will argue strongly based on reason, continue to contradict
Zhejiang’s Kang Jituan receives one of European Commission disclosure letters Chinese shoes business, his services department general manager Luo meets the banyan tree to say during the interview: He hopes that contradicts to affect the final result, if not good, that must affect the result to have the process. Romania meets the banyan tree to believe that our shoe industry enterprise should stand, expressed our viewpoints, enterprise in China must contradict in this aspect, must argue strongly based on reason to unfold the Chinese Enterprise’s posture.
Simultaneously Luo met the banyan tree also to point out two big plea reasons:
First, we use litigation material to tell them the Chinese shoes not to be lower than the cost price export to them;
Second, they think China’s shoes are the subsidy of government export, the fact proved that does not have Chinese subsidy we to export similarly is making money.
Acts the attorney: Chinese Enterprise also has the opportunity
But just came back from European Union Headquarters Brussels Chinese agent attorney Pu Lingchen said that at present he actively is preparing to represent the Chinese shoes business attendance the last plea, in European Commission’s resolution has the unreasonable place, Chinese Enterprise also has the opportunity which continues to contradict:
Pu Lingchen believes that now European Commission proposed “15 months” measure extension, but before non-“2 years” and “5 years”, reflected European Union not the unified sound to exist. This also explained from the other aspect the plea of Chinese Enterprise makes certain progress.
The relatively usual 5 years are round anti-dumping measures, 15 months seem like short, but if Chinese Enterprise continues to appeal to European Union Court, or begins using WTO the dispute settlement mechanism, both consume the time must over 2 years, this mean that the procedure for appeal in the process, 15 months are the time measure possibly terminate the expiration; If China does not adopt the further legal channel to solve this problem, then European Commission once more will use “for 15 months”? Then, around added the total time section was still 5 years – anti-dumping measures usual age limit. Therefore, leather shoes document is not in the general sense antidumping investigation.
Reporter: European Union has the difference, antidumping by no means all wish
Regarding whether continues to China to export European Union’s leather shoes to implement the anti-dumping measures, the European Union Interior member nation has had the different sound. China Radio International said in European Union Headquarters reporter Xu Xin that Italy and Spain and other European Union south member nations or will hold support European Commission’s suggestion, but some north member nations will have the opposition. In the EU member, Holland to have advocated the market open and free trade is famous, and other countries the free trade sends the member nation to form the union in the leather shoes counter-antidumping case and Britain to oppose that continues to levy taxes. Moreover, is equipped with the European Union manufacturer in factory in Asia, for instance Adidas and Puma and other companies have the opposition. On behalf of more than 2000 European Shoemaking Enterprise, recently also issued the statement including Adidas multinational giant’s European Shoe industry Alliance like this, opposed that European Union considered lengthens to the Chinese leather shoes’ anti-dumping measures.
European Shoe industry Purchasing agent Alliance commission chairman Ge Siji said that world economic development’s direction should be the free trade and trade is open, especially under the financial crisis background, any trade protectionism measure is will move toward the recovery to the world economics the hindrance, should eradicate.
European Fashionable clothing Retail merchant Association Footwear commission chairman Fan Haote said that to coming from Chinese and Vietnam’s leather shoes customs collection is European Union the long political negotiation result, but political decision and reality not any relations. If such matter occurred, European Union antidumping system function’s prestige will encounter the question once more.
Experts: The financial crisis is the actor’s opening words, transformation tactic continues to contradict
In the fact, European Union initiates to our country shoes business “dumping” indictment is not founded repeatedly in fact. The department of commercial affairs fair trade bureau related people in charge pointed out that the Chinese leather shoes export enterprise reaches over a thousand much, the overwhelming majorities is the private enterprise or the foreign-funded enterprise, this competition’s market the enterprise impossible to be lower than the cost the price sell products to cause itself in to lose money highly, the enterprise has not obtained any subsidy which the government gives.
The foreign economy and trade university WTO research institute vice-presidents attempt to be popular the power saying:Under the economic crisis the European Union Enterprise’s day does not feel better is a reason, but what is more important, the European Union market economy status standard recognizes and is suitable for the procedure the confusion is also a key.
Regarding the Chinese shoes business forthcoming last plea, the chart is popular the power to indicate: This plea must strive for the influence result as far as possible at the same time, on the other hand as enterprise also if wants the means to dodge the antidumping, but silently does not endure. Simultaneously must in the tactic find again deals with the way, for example through the foreign investment or with the European Union business’s way, the shift investment dodges the antidumping.
