On August 3rd, the Council of Europe passed the final leather shoes for China and Vietnam on the 5 day with a simple majority.

Anti-dumping

According to this rule, the EU will be in China and Vietnam from October 7th.

16.5% and 10% anti-dumping duties were levied for two years.

In October 4th, the permanent member of the European Union's 25 member European Union held a vote on the above proposal in France, which resulted in a narrow margin of 13 to 12 narrowly, with 12 countries opposed, 9 countries in favour of Brussels and 4 countries abstaining.

The EU ruled that more than half of the member states should reject the proposal and abstain from it as "approval".

As the 4 day's vote has reflected the position of all countries, the 5 EU justice and interior ministers' meeting did not make any discussion, and voted on the final rule.

Earlier, EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson proposed 16.5% and 10% of leather shoes in China and Vietnam in August this year.

Anti-dumping duty

For a period of 5 years, to replace the current provisional anti-dumping measures.

However, this proposal was rejected by most EU members and failed to pass.

Britain, Germany, Sweden, Denmark and other countries believe that this measure will seriously damage the interests of leather shoes importers, retailers and EU consumers, and they oppose it.

In view of this, France proposed a compromise plan to change the period from 5 years to two years.

After the final announcement, European Union business and consumer organizations criticize this move, which is undoubtedly the rise of protectionism and will not help to enhance the competitiveness of the EU footwear industry.

It warned that this provision could not eliminate the uncertainties faced by retailers, and that additional punitive tariffs would increase the burden on consumers.
