Analysis Of The Three Magic Weapons Of AOKANG Winning

"AOKANG's defense against EU's final six years of anti-dumping" has not only made a perfect stop for AOKANG's "marathon style" defense, but this decision has set an example for the enterprises that are now subjected to anti-dumping, and boosted the confidence of Chinese enterprises to safeguard their rights and interests through judicial channels.

In particular, AOKANG has won the right to speak and participate in international trade.

At the same time, Chinese enterprises should sum up their mature experience.

I believe that during the 6 years of defense,

Relying on "three magic weapons" finally won the victory.

In 2006, when AOKANG and other enterprises encountered EU anti-dumping cases, China's Ministry of Commerce began to intervene in the anti-dumping.

In May 18, 2006, the EU anti-dumping "six party talks" was held in Bishan, Chongqing.

This time, the Fair Trade Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce and the commercial office of the Spanish Embassy in China are made in China.

Opinions on how to deal with EU anti-dumping are given.

In the first place, the Ministry of Commerce confronted the anti-dumping cases and issued a strong official voice.

In fact, in the 6 years of defense, the Ministry of Commerce and other competent departments have been behind the scenes helping AOKANG and other anti dumping enterprises.

In May 20, 2006, AOKANG sent plenipotentiaries to participate in a protest group supported by the Ministry of Commerce and went to the EU to attend the "anti-dumping hearing on shoes products to China" held in Brussels in May 22nd. In March 9, 2007, the Fair Trade Bureau of the Ministry of Commerce and trade of China held a Symposium on Green Trade Review on EU trade remedy in Hangzhou. In March 31, 2007, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce held a seminar on trade remedy tools for trade officials between China and Europe in Beijing.

This is the first time China and EU have launched a dialogue on EU trade remedy measures.

In April 8, 2010, the Chinese government appealed to the WTO to make the European Union to China.

The administrative victory of the case also laid the foundation for winning the lawsuit afterwards. It is reported that in the process of defense, the relevant departments of the Ministry of commerce also helped AOKANG to learn the relevant laws and regulations of the European Union and the relevant rules of WTO in time.

The Ministry of Commerce and other relevant departments have become a strong backing for AOKANG's defense.

It is reported that after the EU anti-dumping filing case, in May 18, 2006, China

The relevant responsible persons of the association attended the EU's anti-dumping "six party talks" held in Bishan, Chongqing, and expressed their views on how Chinese shoe manufacturers should deal with the EU anti-dumping. In May 20, 2006, the chamber of Commerce of the China Light Industry Crafts Import and Export Association organized a protest group to attend the "anti-dumping hearing on shoes products to China" held in Brussels in May 22nd. In January 8, 2007, the vice chairman of the China Leather Association and chairman of AOKANG, Wang Zhentao, on behalf of the appellate enterprises, also published the "joint statement of Chinese footwear enterprises on trade barriers," and called for more domestic shoe manufacturers to take actions to cope with international trade barriers.

With the increase of anti-dumping cases in recent years, the prosecution industry can not do without industrial associations.

As early as 2006, the Ministry of Commerce issued the "Regulations on responding to anti-dumping cases for export products" stipulates that trade associations such as import and export chambers of commerce should strengthen discipline in accordance with the articles of association, maintain the order of industry operation, take charge of the industry coordination of responding cases of anti-dumping cases, and encourage member enterprises to sue foreign anti-dumping cases.

In fact, in recent years, the industry associations have played an irreplaceable role in organizing contacts, collecting information, coordinating the export behavior of enterprises, and mediating and negotiating with other countries.

Such as the iron and Steel Association's coordination organization for iron and steel safeguards; the bicycle association's negotiation with Japanese counterparts on the quality of export bicycles; the association of stone associations representing the industry and the European Union; the association of electronic acoustics representing the enterprises and the foreign enterprises concerned about the issue of patent fees; the battery Association's representative industry contended with the "337" clause in the United States; the Furniture Association organized enterprises to sue the United States for anti-dumping; the Wenzhou lighters Association, in response to the European Union's CR standards and other cases, fully demonstrated the role of trade associations in coping with international trade disputes.

It can be asserted that in the future foreign trade activities, the industrial associations and the Federation will also play a greater role.

Finally, continuous learning of WTO, the European Union and other relevant laws and regulations has made great efforts to deal with the "marathon" defense. During the 6 years of defense, AOKANG has made many efforts and efforts.

One is to experience one's relatives.

In May 18, 2006, the EU anti-dumping "six party talks" period.

Wang Zhentao, chairman and President of AOKANG group and chairman of the hundred shoe enterprises, issued the first China protest against the EU's anti dumping Declaration on footwear, the Chongqing declaration. In June 15, 2006, AOKANG chairman Wang Zhentao, at the invitation of Calvo, chairman of the EU footwear Federation, attended the Spanish footwear industry forum held in Spain and delivered a keynote speech in the capacity of the sole representative of the Chinese footwear enterprises. Wang Zhentao's move was seen as a bargaining chip for Chinese shoe enterprises to win the EU's anti-dumping final ruling in October. In January 8, 2007, four Chinese shoe companies such as AOKANG were held in Beijing to hold a briefing on the anti dumping litigation situation of footwear enterprises.

Wang Zhentao, chairman of AOKANG, on behalf of the appeals company, also published the "Beijing Joint Declaration on China's shoe enterprises to deal with trade barriers" and called for more domestic shoe companies to act actively and jointly deal with international trade barriers. In May 2010, when four other shoe companies announced their abandonment, AOKANG decided to continue appeals to the European Union High Court.

Two is continuous learning.

As Wang Zhentao, chairman of AOKANG shoe industry, said, "against EU anti-dumping, AOKANG has learned more about international trade related legal knowledge and learned how to solve international trade disputes, which is of great benefit to the internationalization of AOKANG in the future".

Now that AOKANG has won the lawsuit, Chinese enterprises have improved their voice and participation in international trade. AOKANG's move is worth learning from Chinese shoe companies and other industries.

AOKANG won the lawsuit to remind Chinese enterprises that enterprises should learn to use the rules and laws of WTO and learn to use rules to protect their interests in the face of international trade barriers.

Since China's accession to the WTO, the international trade friction has been increasing. Especially in the past one or two years, China has become the most severely affected country in the world.

How to safeguard the safety and legitimate rights and interests of Chinese enterprises and industries in international trade has become a common concern of all sectors of society.

In the process of dealing with anti-dumping, enterprises should strengthen the learning of relevant international rules and laws and regulations of trade frictions with the help of government and trade associations.

From 1995 to 2005, the EU imposed quota restrictions on China's export leather shoes for up to ten years.

In July 7, 2005, the European Commission carried out anti-dumping investigation on some leather shoes in China.

In October 2006, the European Union decided to impose a 16.5% anti-dumping duty on Chinese leather shoes for a period of two years, and the anti-dumping measures will be extended for another 15 months in the name of sunset review after the expiration of anti-dumping duties.

In October 23, 2006, 5 Chinese shoe companies, including China AOKANG, Wenzhou "Tamar", Guangzhou "Nanhai Golden Shoe" and Fujian, appealed to the European Court of first instance.

In April 2010, the European Union's junior court announced a lawsuit against 5 Chinese shoe companies, and announced that China's shoe companies failed in the first instance.

In May 2010, the other 4 shoe companies felt that the second instance failed to win the lawsuit and announced their abandonment of the appeal. AOKANG, however, was willing to continue to appeal to the high court of the European Union at a cost of huge litigation costs.

In March 31, 2011, the European Union announced that the 16.5% high anti-dumping duty imposed on Chinese leather shoes has been abolished since April 1st. This decision means that the Chinese shoe enterprises will be victorious from administration in the fight against anti-dumping.

In November 18, 2012, AOKANG received a verdict from the high court of the European Union. It said that it rejected the ruling made by the European Court of justice in March 4, 2010 in the joint case of the company and the Tamar footwear industry in Wenzhou. It abolished the anti-dumping measures and regulations imposed by the European Commission on AOKANG in October 5, 2006, and made the European Commission bear the litigation costs of AOKANG in the ordinary court and the high court, so that the European Commission could bear its own litigation costs.

Importers and exporters who have trade relations with AOKANG can return the anti-dumping duties imposed on them for 6 years from the European Union.
