anti-dumping preliminary ruling China lost

China Automobile Industry Association Deputy Secretary-General Xiongchuan Lin had said that if the EU anti-dumping measures, China's aluminum wheel industry will be a heavy blow to anti-dumping duty is not affordable for a business, the worst result, China's aluminum wheel products will be all out of Europe.

China Automotive Industry Association secretary general Li Qing said wheels, the EU anti-dumping investigations, involving all EU exports to China more than 40 vehicle aluminum wheel manufacturing companies.

survey results ignoring China Facts

EU against Chinese alloy wheels anti-dumping survey began in June 2009.

2009 years by the end of June, the European wheel manufacturers association on behalf of the European Union 6 aluminum alloy wheels manufacturer, submitted to the European Commission to China alloy wheels anti-dumping investigations initiated by complaint. In mid-August 2008, the European Commission informed the Chinese side, will this investigation.

2009 years in September, the European Union Friends of selected Chinese hair, wearing a card, Matthey and legislation in the first round of the four companies investigated, the main survey the availability of Chinese enterprises," the dominant position of market economy." According to the end of January 2010 the EU published the findings of the first round, surveyed the four companies" do not have all the main body of market economy status" , then the EU has on several alloy wheels Chang Jia of China to conduct second round of the survey.

early the beginning of the EU survey, the Ministry of Commerce Import & Export Fair Trade Bureau has repeatedly said," The EU launched the Chinese aluminum wheel anti-dumping investigation is inconsistent with the provisions of WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement!" China Automobile Industry Association, China's aluminum alloy wheels, as representatives of manufacturers, but also the beginning of the investigation launched in the EU, it said the Association of European wheel manufacturers to submit the statement of claim in the" qualified applicant" ," alternative country" problems in terms of choice, does not meet the relevant provisions of WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement.

for the European Union preliminary ruling, the Chinese Association of Automobile Manufacturers issued a strong statement," the European Commission ignored the Chinese point of view, arbitrarily, made the case unjust ruling." and said" This will seriously hurt the feelings of the Chinese automotive practitioners to change the car industry managers, practitioners, consumers and the European automotive components industry, the impression will eventually affect the development of EU companies in China."

It is understood that the preliminary ruling the European Commission reported that China's cheap imports from European manufacturers to make production and sales suffered dramatic decline, its market share and sales prices also hit. According to data from the European Commission, China's aluminum wheel products in the European market in 2006 sales of 3.7 million, but as of June 2009 reached 6.1 million, imports grew 66%, while China's product market share almost doubled, from 6.3% in 2006 to 12.4% in 2009.

This is the" injury and causation" , the overthrow of the EU's thesis.

China will continue to defend

Matthey Aowei is aluminum wheel market, major companies exporting to Europe. According to its 2009 annual report: in 2009, its sales income 661,366,700 yuan foreign markets than the Chinese market 653.4848 million yuan sales revenue, but profit of 78.6172 million yuan in its overseas market, to significantly lower than the Chinese market 122.8769 million yuan of profit.

This is from the One side can be seen, the Chinese aluminum wheel business, not wantonly dumping in the European market.

experts Last week also said that" China aluminum alloy wheels mainly in the EU service market, the real plant ancillary to the vehicle for less than 3%, said the impact of China's export aluminum alloy wheels aluminum alloy wheel hub of European industry, just like my jokes!"

Li person in the wheel hub to the newspaper that" just and electromechanical finished Chamber of Commerce and other business television and telephone will be opened, but also a meeting to discuss what measures to take defense, how defense?" Day card terms, said:" legal means will be taken directly defense." However, the results not yet reached final ruling in the present case, also wearing a card is" helpless" ," will be revised in consultation with the European car factory supply arrangements in 2010, and in consultation with the European customers and the goods had to be made hair goods tariff-sharing problems," the company said.

Matthey Aowei at last week's announcement said," the company will supply the Chinese market by increasing and Japan, the United States and other international markets outside the EU to expand to make up for the European market decline." Matthey Aowei also said that 2010 years ago 4 months, the company achieved sales of 73.5613 million yuan in the European Union, the original plan in 2010 sales 308 million yuan in the EU, but by this anti-dumping preliminary ruling and is expected to decline in annual sales in the EU 40%.

Chinese aluminum alloy wheels enterprises may still wait for heaven and earth to reverse the moment. Lizhong Wheel leader said:" The EU will not be the preliminary ruling as the final ruling, the Chinese defense enterprises are 6 months time!"
