Chinese rebar investigation

摘要

An investigation into allegations of dumping of Chinese-made rebar on European markets has been launched by the European Commission's Trade Directorate General (DG Trade). The probe follows a complaint by the European Steel Association (EUROFER) in March and relates to high fatigue performance (HFP) rebar. Dumping is the practice of selling a product on export markets at either below its price on home markets or below its cost of production. It is regarded as a form of protectionism and as a predatory tactic in international trade to win market share.
