Further to Commercial Information Circular No. 230/2005 of 30 June 2005, the European Commission (the Commission) published a Decision on 29 August 2006 to terminate the anti-dumping proceedings concerning imports of footwear with a protective toecap originating in, inter alia, the mainland of China.

DETAILS

  1. The Commission published a notice on 30 June 2005 to initiate an anti-dumping proceeding on imports of footwear with a protective toecap originating in, inter alia, the mainland of China.

The Commission initiated anti-dumping proceedings on i) footwear with protective toecap; and ii) footwear with uppers of leather originating in, inter alia, the mainland of China on 30 June and 7 July 2005 respectively. On ii), the Commission imposed a 6-month provisional anti-dumping duty on certain footwear starting from 7 April 2006. For details please refer to Commercial Information Circular No. 132/2006.
