Deal With EU Anti-Dumping Lawsuit, Seven Shoe Enterprises Form Alliance

A few days ago, Zhejiang AOKANG, Fujian Jian Yue and Yuyuan industries in Guangdong, Panyu Chuangxin shoes industry, Huajian, Tong Jia shoes industry and Foshan Nanhai golden shoe and other 7 enterprises responsible for filling out the questionnaire met for the first time and held an anti-dumping notice meeting.

From this briefing, the reporter also learned that the EU formally confirmed the on-site inspection time of leather shoes anti-dumping.

According to the introduction of the anti dumping case by the Chinese deputy attorney, Pu Ling Chen, from the end of 10, the seven enterprises received the European Union anti-dumping investigation questionnaire. Up to now, the work completed by the questionnaire has basically been completed. But considering the lack of experience of responding to some enterprises, some details need to be further clarified in how to sue for sunset review and how to fill out the questionnaire. At the same time, enterprises are fully aware of the significance and influence of this review.

In fact, there are three levels of game between China's footwear industry and the European Union, namely, technological level game, political level game and confidence momentum game.

The "sunset review" is different from before. The seven shoe enterprises represent the whole industry. If the winner wins, the whole shoe industry will benefit. Therefore, these seven shoe companies must be confident and United.

For this reason, Zhejiang AOKANG, Fujian Jian le and Guangdong anti dumping alliance form a Chinese leather shoes anti-dumping lawsuit alliance.

Reporter learned from this briefing, the European Commission officially announced part of the sampling enterprises on-site verification time, has been identified is: AOKANG group from January 12, 2009 to 13, the South China Sea footwear industry from January 19, 2009 to 21.

According to Pu Ling Chen, the main task of the European Union's on-site verification is to conduct on-the-spot examination based on the main data of the questionnaire, such as output, export unit price and production cost of the European Union.

Therefore, enterprises should do well in preparing relevant data.

It is understood that the hearing of the sunset review will be carried out two times. It is expected to be organized by the Chinese commerce and import chamber of Commerce for the first time in December 18th, mainly in the industry without damage, and the other hearing is carried out in the EU after on-site verification and is expected to be in February 2009.

The European Union has recently proposed that if Vietnamese enterprises commit themselves to the lowest export price, the EU will consider lifting the anti-dumping duty on 10% of the leather shoes hats imported from Vietnam.

According to the proposal, the EU can accept the commitment of Vietnam shoe and hat enterprises to the lowest export price.

The lowest price is proposed by Vietnamese enterprises and approved by the European Union.

If the commitment can be reached as soon as possible, the EU will be exempt from the anti-dumping duty of 10% of the export enterprises of leather shoes and caps in January 1, 2009.

Once the EU decides to cancel anti-dumping duties, voluntary price commitments will then lapse.
