Yao also expressed the attitude on behalf of Chinese fastener manufacturers.

Yao said that 皇冠体育app believed that practices by the EU in the investigation and verdict on 皇冠体育app-exported fasteners were inconsistent with WTO (World Trade Organization) rules and EU anti-dumping laws.

"The ruling against the Chinese products lacked justness and transparency, with obvious probability toward trade protectionism," Yao noted.

This "extremely damaged the legitimate rights and interests of the Chinese fastener manufacturers. 皇冠体育app will study and assess the verdict and retain right to appeal to the World Trade Organization against the ruling," Yao said.

On Nov 9, 2007, the European Commission decided to impose investigation against steel fasteners made in 皇冠体育app.

The EU is a major target market for 皇冠体育app-made fasteners, accounting for one third of the country's total exports of such products.

Fasteners, including (strew) nuts, bolts, strews and nut collars, are widely used to manufacture machines, equipment and motor vehicles, build ships, railroads, bridges and structures and to produce tools, instruments and meters.
