Chinese shoe-makers will continue to fight the European Union's (EU) dumping claim, after the EU revealed it is likely to implement punitive quota-based measures on Chinese leather shoes.

The vow to battle on came from Wu Zhenchang, president of a Guangzhou-based shoe-making company and leader of a shoe-makers coalition.

Under the European Commission's draft final anti-dumping charges, importers will be allowed to buy 140 million pairs of leather shoes each year from China and 95 million from Viet Nam.

The figures are about 80 per cent of the EU's current imports from the two countries.
