The European Union (EU) has been sued
for its extension of the anti-dumping duties on leather capped shoes
from Vietnam and China.
The Vietnam trade mission in the EU and Belgium-Luxembourg said the lawsuit was filed at the European General Court by the Federation of European Sporting Goods Industry (FESI).
Last December, EU members approved the European Commission (EC)’s proposal to extend anti-dumping duties for another 15 months on Vietnam and China ’s leather capped shoes as of January 2010.
In its petition, FESI stated that the EU’s decision was based on an inappropriate investigation and a flawed analysis of the facts, saying that the measures only succeed in hurting European businesses and consumers.
"The decision to go ahead with this action has only been taken after long and careful consideration, it is not something we do lightly," said FESI President Horst Widmann.
EU imposed anti-dumping tariffs on leather capped shoes imported from Vietnam and China since October 2006./.
