Chinese Companies Defend EU Leather Shoes And Win Again

Chinese companies are defending EU skins.

Anti dumping will win the battle again.

Yesterday, the AOKANG shoe Limited by Share Ltd of Zhejiang received the verdict issued by the high court of the European Union, and finally ruled that the court of first instance of the European Union in the trial of AOKANG anti EU anti-dumping cases, the use of individual legal provisions is improper, and there is a lack of justice.

This indicates that China AOKANG has not only made administrative and legal disputes, but has also won a double victory in the EU's leather shoes anti-dumping.

The European Union High Court has decided that the European Commission's compensation for AOKANG's appeal to the European Union's primary and high court costs will be more than 500 yuan.

Dealers may return the anti-dumping duties imposed on the EU for 6 years.

China's leather shoes' protracted struggle in Europe.

In October 2006, the EU Commission imposed anti-dumping duties on Chinese leather shoes for the first time, after a series of quota restrictions on Chinese leather shoes, and imposed a 16.5% high anti-dumping duty for two years.

After the expiration of anti-dumping duties, the European Union launched the "sunset review" again, and decided to extend the anti-dumping measures for another 15 months until March 31, 2011.

After the EU put forward the above measures, China AOKANG took the lead in Wenzhou's "Tamar" and 5 Chinese shoe companies such as Guangzhou Nanhai golden shoe and Fujian, and appealed to the EU's lower court.

The first instance lawsuit took 4 years, during which AOKANG and other 5 enterprises rose to respond and defended 3 times.

In April 2010, the European Union's junior court dismissed the claim of five shoe companies in China and announced that China's shoe companies failed in the first instance.

In April 8, 2010, the Chinese government appealed to the WTO to resolve this unfair international trade dispute launched by the European Union through this channel.

In May of that year, the other 4 shoe companies felt that the second instance failed to win the lawsuit and announced their abandonment of the appeal. However, AOKANG was willing to continue appealing to the high court of the European Union at a cost of huge litigation costs.

With the untiring efforts of the Chinese government and Chinese shoe companies, the European Union announced that it had abolished 16.6% of the high anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes since April 1, 2011.

This unreasonable trade protection measure, which has lasted for nearly 5 years, has finally come to an end.

But this is only the European Commission's single administrative removal of the anti-dumping trade barriers, and Chinese enterprises have not yet won the final result in the second instance judiciary.

In order to win the "legal victory", AOKANG continued to fight alone, and finally came to the "bright future".

Analysts believe that AOKANG's defense against EU anti-dumping has won a successful lawsuit in the EU high court, which completely solved the legal issues related to the lawsuit, and found relevant legal basis for Chinese shoe enterprises to face anti-dumping trade disputes and other international trade disputes in the future, providing strong legal protection for the internationalization of Chinese shoe enterprises.

Wei Yafei, director of the association's footwear office, believes that the EU's anti-dumping has set the alarm for the relevant enterprises. The internationalization of Chinese shoe enterprises will not be smooth sailing in the future. We must learn to face the international trade disputes bravely and learn to take legal weapons to protect their interests.
