EU should remove anti-dumping tax on Vietnamese shoes: MIT
VGP – The Vietnamese Ministry of Industry and Trade welcomes the European Union (EU) anti-dumping committee’s recent decision which rejects the extension of anti-dumping duties against Vietnamese shoe, and proposed the European Commission remove the duties soon.
On
November 19, at the meeting of the anti-dumping committee, 15 EU member states opposed
the European Commission’s proposal to extend dumping tax on leather-capped shoes
from Việt
Vietnamese
enterprises have not dumped their leather-capped shoes exported to the EU
The
committee’s rejection is sound and reasonable because many industry
associations, organizations, enterprises and individuals in the EU, including
European footwear producers, have said that the imposition of the tax overlook
legitimate rights and interests of Vietnamese makers and workers, as well as EU
consumers, importers and distributors.
In
fact, Vietnamese enterprises have not dumped leather-capped shoes in the EU.
The European Commission has compared the price of the products from Việt
In
October 2006, the European Commission imposed a 10% tax rate on leather-capped
shoes made in Việt
