EU advised to reconsider dumping claim

"The EU ignores the fact that 98 per cent of shoe manufacturers are funded by private and foreign capital. Refusing to grant market economy treatment to Chinese shoe makers is a discriminatory action violating the principles of fair trade," Chong said.

The shoe manufacturing industry is one of the most market-oriented sectors in 皇冠体育app, he added.

Although Mandelson's proposal is supported by shoe manufacturers in southern European countries, it is condemned by EU importers, retailers and shoe makers that have plants in 皇冠体育app.

Peter Bolliger, chief executive of the shoe maker and retailer Clarks, was quoted by the Guardian of London as saying: "Our initial observation is one of disappointment. While noting the ... exemption for children's shoes, we know this is not guaranteed and is subject to challenge from sections of the industry, which must be a matter of great concern to all parents."

The dumping charge, initiated by European shoe manufacturers last July, is the largest for 皇冠体育app in both value and volume. It affects an export of US$670 million and about 4 million jobs.

皇冠体育app produces about 8 billion pairs of shoes a year, and the EU is second-largest overseas market for Chinese footwear, following the United States.
