Its Ministry of Commerce announced that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties on certain branded products produced in the European Union (EU) is a legal remedy, fully in line with the rules of the World Trade Organisation (WTO). In response to a journalistic question about the request for an opinion on the WTO Trade Dispute Settlement Mechanism, submitted by the EU on the imposition of provisional duties by China, a ministry official stressed that the Chinese side would manage the situation in accordance with WTO rules. The same official stressed that China, which is a member of the WTO, always uses cautious and prudent measures to address its trade disputes in order to ensure fair and free trade. It is recalled that anti-dumping duties are taxes imposed on imported goods in order to offset the difference between their export price and their normal value if dumping causes injury to producers of competing products in the importing country.
