Aokang wins six-year legal battle against EU tariffs (2)

By Ji Beibei (Global Times)

Aokang and the four other shoemakers lost their first law suit in April 2010 and the four others gave up their legal efforts. However, Aokang continued and appealed to the European Court of Justice against the verdict.

In April 2010, the Chinese government filed a complaint with the WTO accusing the EU of imposing illegal duties.

One year later, the EU canceled the anti-dumping duties upon the ruling's expiration but Aokang continued with its legal battle, eventually winning its appeal.

The company's lone battle deserves recognition, Pu said.

Some Chinese firms tend to accept rulings rather than contesting them through legal channels, as they think that foreign trade lawsuits take up a lot of resources in terms of time, energy and money, and that they stand little chance of winning, He Weiwen, director of International Business and Economics at the Sino-US Economy and Trade Center, told the Global Times Monday.

However, He said more companies should take legal measures in foreign trade disputes.
