Eu To Start Anti-dumping Probe On Chinese Aluminium Foil

摘要

The European Commission will soon start an anti-dumping investigation on aluminium foil imports from China, Armenia and Brazil, according to China's commerce ministry.rn"The European Commission recently informed us that it has received the complaint from its domestic industry and will start related anti-dumping investigations soon", said an official from the ministry's Bureau of Fair Trade for Imports and Exports. "If thernEuropean Commission decides to impose anti-dumping duties on aluminium foil imports from China, it could have a strong impact on the Chinese aluminium foil industry", said an analyst from Beijing.rnChina's aluminium foil exports have surged in recent years to 320,000 tonnes in 2007, up 78% from a year-earlier, according to customs statistics. In 2007 58.4% of China's aluminium foil exports went to Asia, and 21.6% to Europe. There is a 13% tax rebate for aluminium foil exports, which has encouraged some producers to export. Meanwhile, demand from the overseas market is also strong because of the reasonable price and high quality of Chinese products.
