China asks WTO to investigate EU antidumping against Chinese shoes

China's World Trade Organization delegation 20th formally requested the WTO to set up a group of experts to investigate and determine whether the EU's anti-dumping measures against China's shoes violate international trade rules. At the meeting of the WTO Dispute Settlement body held in the same day, the Chinese delegation pointed out that the EU's anti-dumping measures against China's leather shoes violate the relevant WTO agreements and damage the legitimate rights and interests of China.　　In view of the fact that the last round of consultations held on March 31 could not lift China's concerns and find a mutually satisfactory solution, China asked the WTO dispute settlement body to set up a panel of experts to ensure the protection of China's legitimate rights and interests. The Chinese delegation once again urged the EU to revise its relevant legislative procedures in accordance with WTO agreements and to end anti-dumping measures against China's leather shoes that violate WTO rules.
