With regards to the anti-dumping case, five Chinese footwear enterprises have decided to present their side in EU court. According to law, with a grace period of two weeks, the final deadline for Chinese footwear makers to protect their own interests in EU court is January 2, 2007.
According to the final ruling by the EU, labor insurance shoes and high-tech sport shoes are not included in the levy range. However, sampled Chinese enterprises thought EU's decision was unjust. There are many problems in EU s final ruling, from survey to examination, which are inconsistent with EU law.
General manager Liu Kun from Jinlu shoe-maker said, having obtained the market economy status meant the manufacturer did not involve in anti-dumping, why still to be levied of 9.7 percent of anti-dumping duty? He thought it was contradictory.
According to the attorney of this case, more than 150 enterprises are involved in EU anti-dumping investigation. More than 140 businesses have filled in the questionnaire, but it is surprising that they have not been audited. The attorney pointed out the EU court should give some clear explanation on that.
