Chinese Shoe Enterprises Will Have A Glimmers Of Export To Europe.
Whether the EU will continue to impose anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes by October this year, the answer will soon be announced. The 27 member states of the European Union voted against the 17 day. 15 countries such as Ireland, Germany, Belgium and Luxemburg voted against it, and only 12 countries voted for it.
More than half of the EU members voted against continuing punitive anti-dumping duties on Chinese shoes, though this is not the final result, but it is still a good news for Chinese shoe companies.
Officials from the Ministry of Commerce yesterday interviewed the first financial daily, saying that the camp against anti-dumping measures was obviously larger than that in 2006. The result of the vote is encouraging and is the victory of free trade. Although this vote is only a meeting of the Advisory Committee, it does not have a final binding force, but it reflects a tendency that deserves continuous attention and tracking.
The 25 member states of the European Union decided in 2006 whether to take anti-dumping measures. 12 members voted against anti-dumping duties, 9 were in favour and 4 abstentions (abstention) were equal. With the difference of 1 votes, the European Commission's final dumping on Chinese leather shoes in October 7, 2006 was 16.5%, and a two-year anti-dumping duty was imposed. In this vote, Cyprus, Malta and Slovenia were changed from last abstention to opposition, and Latvia was changed from support to opposition. Hungary, which was originally opposed to the 12 countries, has changed its support this time. All new EU Member States, Romania and Bulgaria, voted for it.
The Commerce Department officials believe that the EU's long-term quota protection for footwear products, plus two years of anti-dumping duties, is enough to protect the local footwear industry. The EU footwear industry needs to swim in the tide of globalization and not rely solely on protection. The EU needs to treat the division of labor, cooperation, competition and outsourcing in a globalized era rationally.
According to the financial times, although the vote is not binding, it shows that the EU's attitude may have been turned against anti-dumping duties that have made consumer goods more expensive, especially during the period of high inflation. The vote adds complexity to a decision to be made by EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mendelson. Mandelson must decide before October 4th whether to extend the 16.5% and 10% import tariffs on leather shoes in China and Vietnam.
Data from China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of light industry crafts show that the volume of Chinese shoe exports has decreased and prices have risen this year. In the first half of 2008, the number of footwear exports in China was 4 billion 290 million pairs or kilograms, the export amount was 13 billion 458 million US dollars, the unit price was 3.14 US dollars / double or kilogram, and the year-on-year increase was -2.45%, 12.51% and 15.34% respectively.
Affected by the continued appreciation of the renminbi, rising labor costs and the global economic downturn, Chinese shoe companies plunged into the cold winter are eager to get rid of the anti-dumping duties as soon as possible, thereby reducing the cost of export costs and worrying about the results to be announced in October. Wu Zhenchang, chairman of Panyu Chuangxin shoes industry Co., Ltd., whose annual export volume is over 100 million dollars, said yesterday: "although the voting result is good for us, the final result may still be variable. So we can't relax, we are preparing some countermeasures, and we will step up lobbying importers, retailers and other partners to strengthen Chinese shoes.
European retailers and sportswear companies also joined in calling on Mandelson to cancel these duties 17 days ago. Horst Wiedemann, chairman of the European Sporting Goods Industry Federation, told the media: "the continuation of these duties will be a mockery of the EU's anti-dumping policy and will restart the debate that has led to differences." He quoted a Swedish Trade Department study that the added value of footwear production up to 80% was created in Europe, and Europe is the designer and sales market of shoes.
