In March 18th, Ministry of Commerce And China Leather Association The information displayed is displayed. European Union The Committee issued a circular on March 16th, announcing that it has formally ceased production in Vietnam and China since March 31, 2011. leather shoes Impose anti-dumping duties. This means the EU's leather shoes to China for nearly five years. Anti-dumping End of this month.

Between 1995 and 2005, the EU imposed a quota limit of ten years on Chinese leather shoes. In October 7, 2006, it imposed a 16.5% high anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes for two years. In October 23rd of the same year, five Chinese shoe companies such as AOKANG appealed to the European Court of first instance.

In October 2008, after the expiration of the anti-dumping duty for two years, the European Union launched the final review again, and decided to extend the anti-dumping measures for another 15 months in December 22, 2009.

In April 2010, the EU's junior court dismissed five Chinese shoe companies' claims. In April 8th, the Chinese government appealed to WTO to set up an expert group's request for anti-dumping measures against China's leather shoes by the European Union, and formally launched the WTO dispute settlement expert group's hearing procedure. In May, when other shoe companies announced their abandonment of appeal, Wenzhou AOKANG decided to appeal to the European Union High Court.

With the persevering resistance of the Chinese government and AOKANG shoe makers, it finally came to light. Wei Yafei, director of shoe making office of China Leather Association, said that, in accordance with the relevant EU law, when the anti-dumping was about to expire, the EU footwear Federation did not file a request for re examination, indicating that the anti-dumping period was automatically terminated after the expiration. Wang Zhentao, vice chairman of the China Leather Association and chairman of AOKANG footwear industry, said that Chinese shoe enterprises must "strengthen themselves" in order to be based on the international economic stage.

After years of technological innovation and structural adjustment of export products, AOKANG has exported the average price of leather shoes at around us $20, which is 5 times the average export price of leather shoes in Wenzhou.

Wang Zhentao warned the footwear industry that anti dumping duties would be a "burden reduction" for China's export enterprises, but should not be blindly optimistic and focus on the future of China's footwear industry. The abolition of anti-dumping duties is more advantageous than disadvantages. The majority of shoe enterprises should take this as a warning, regulate their own trade behavior, improve product research and development and brand added value, open up a diversified market, optimize the structure of export products, and emphasize the construction and protection of independent intellectual property rights. Ultimately, in the international market, we should win by product quality instead of relying on low prices. Only in this way can China's shoes industry seize the initiative and win the right to speak on the international stage.

He proposed a new way to crack down on Anti-dumping: Chinese shoe enterprises should take the initiative to go out, establish R & D, procurement centers abroad, and even acquire international brands. Strengthening cooperation and exchanges with international shoe enterprises is the real solution to foreign trade friction.

It is understood that, in order to protect the interests of some southern European shoe enterprises, the EU has formally imposed anti-dumping duties on leather shoes imported from China since October 2006, with the highest tax rate of 16.5%. In October 23rd of the same year, five Chinese shoe companies such as AOKANG appealed to the European Court of first instance. In October 2008, when the anti-dumping measure was due to expire, the European Commission decided to review the anti-dumping case of Chinese leather shoes in order to decide whether to extend anti-dumping measures. During the review period, the original anti-dumping measures are still applicable. In December 2009, the EU decided to reconsider the anti-dumping measures on Chinese leather shoes for another 15 months. The plan should expire at the end of this month.

Wei Ya Fei said that although the anti-dumping measures have been terminated, Chinese shoe enterprises must seriously study the EU's laws and regulations on leather shoes export, standardize their own business practices, abide by the industry rules, and create a favorable environment for the export of Chinese shoe enterprises. At the same time, we should strengthen cooperation and communication with the EU footwear industry, enhance mutual understanding and achieve win-win development in the international market.
