China reinvestigates anti-dumping duties on EU scanners
13/01/2014 64BEIJING, Jan. 10 (Xinhua) -- China has launched a second probe into anti-dumping measures on X-ray security scanners from the European Union (EU), the Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.
The investigation follows a World Trade Organization (WTO) ruling issued in April, a ministry statement said.
China completed the first probe before 2011.
On Jan. 23, 2011, the country imposed anti-dumping duties between 33.5 percent and 71.8 percent on X-ray security inspection equipment imported from the EU with a time span of five years.
In July 2011, the EU requested WTO consultations on the matter.
A WTO panel released its report on the dispute on April 24, 2013.
The WTO report said certain measures taken by China were inconsistent with the Anti-Dumping Agreement, including not conducting objective examinations.
