EU called on to fulfill WTO promises

Premier Li Keqiang urged the European Union to keep its commitment under the World Trade Organization framework and stop imposing unfair anti-dumping investigations against Chinese exporters.

Li called on the EU to follow Article 15 of the Accession Protocol of China's entry into the WTO, which says all WTO members should stop following subrogate country measures in anti-dumping cases against China by Dec 11, 2016.

Under such measures, importers can use production costs in a third country to define the value of exports from a nonmarket economy when calculating the dumping margin.
