China rips into EU for 'unfair' dumping duties

The Commerce Ministry deplores bloc's moves on steels, truck tires

The European Commission or EC must stop using the "surrogate country" method in anti-dumping investigations into imports from China and immediately withdraw wrongly imposed penalties on China's steel, ceramic and photovoltaic industries, the Ministry of Commerce said on Friday.

Its comments follow Wednesday's anti-dumping duties of up to 28.5 percent by the EC on certain corrosion-resistant steels from China.
