From AFP:
The EU Commission took fresh aim Thursday at Chinese goods on the European market, opening an anti-dumping probe into imports of fine art paper.
The new procedure, announced in the EU’s official journal, follows a complaint from the European association of fine paper manufacturers, CEPIFINE, who provided evidence it said showed Chinese goods were coming in at artificially low prices due in part to China’s status as a “non-market economy country.”… The commission, the EU’s executive arm, now has 15 months to establish whether Chinese paper imports are being offered at artificially low prices, and could impose anti-dumping taxes.
The United States decided three years ago to impose anti-dumping penalties on Chinese paper imports… The European Union has already imposed anti-dumping levies on a series of Chinese products from candles to steel products.
