BRC Brussels Director: 'shoe import duties are wrong in principal'

"The British Retail Consortium (BRC) rejects claims that the EU's negotiating power with China hangs on shoe import taxes. Europe is currently imposing anti-dumping duties against 40 different Chinese products with plans for ten more next year.”

"It's clear the UK is coming under strong pressure to end its opposition in return for supports over the individual opt out to the Working Time Directive. We urge the UK government to stand firm. This isn't about Europe's ability to protect its own markets. It's about consumers getting a fair deal."
