European Union is expected to begin removal investigations in opposition to some Chinese textile and garment products, a senior industry official warned.
Cao Xinyu, Vice-Chairman of the China Chamber of Commerce for the Import and Export of Textiles, said there could be allegations that Chinese exporters were selling some goods in Europe at below the cost of production.
'Many industrial unions from European nations, in meticulously South European countries, have been organizing dumping claims with the European Commission against eight classes of Chinese textile goods,' he said.
The under attack products include men's shirts, cotton towels, socks and underwear. China arrived at an accord with the European Union last June, releasing Chinese textile exports to the economic bloc from protection actions, but the accord does not rule out the likelihood of dumping arguments.
Cao said his chamber has laid exports of some categories under close examination. The chamber has informed domestic exporters of the likelihood of dumping allegations. It will make available them with additional information and lawful aid.
It is not apparent whether the European Commission will initiate official inquiry.
When it will do that is uncertain because there are natives within the European Union that sustain Chinese imports.
China's export of textile goods rose by 20 per cent in the first quarter this year, but information advocate various international purchasers, such as Wal-Mart, have changed consuming from other Asian nations.
