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.
