Trade barrier investigation rules revised (cctv.com) Updated: 2004-11-04 16:25
The Chinese Ministry of Commerce has confirmed that it's working on new ways
to fight unfair trade barriers, imposed by foreign countries.
The government has revised temporary investigation rules, with a draft
version currently being reviewed by various trade departments, and domestic
foreign trade businesses. The revisions are based on specific rules, which took
effect two years ago, as an emergency measure to cope with increasing trade
barriers, established by foreign trade partners. These include the US, the EU
and Japan.
The new rules are expected to better protect the interests of Chinese
exporters, which are often victimized by unfair quotas and tariffs, imposed by
foreign countries. This can be seen with the increasing frequency, of
anti-dumping charges against Chinese exporters in recent
years.
