China’s commerce ministry has recently initiated a formal investigation into imports of dairy products from the European Union (EU). The investigation aims to assess whether subsidised dairy imports from the EU are causing significant harm to China’s domestic dairy industry.
Key points of the investigation include:
- Examining the impact of EU subsidies on pricing and competitiveness of dairy products within China’s market.
- Evaluating potential damage or disadvantage to Chinese dairy farmers and producers resulting from these imports.
- Determining if any trade remedies or protective measures are warranted to support China’s domestic dairy sector.
This probe reflects China’s ongoing efforts to regulate imports in a way that balances international trade commitments with protection of local industries.
