CHINA OPENS TIT-FOR-TAT ANTI-DUMPING PROBE INTO EUROPEAN PORK

BEIJING, June 17 (Reuters) - China has opened an anti-dumping investigation into
imported pork and its by-products from the European Union, a step that appears
mainly targetted at Spain, the Netherlands, France and Denmark in response to
curbs on its electric vehicle exports.
The investigation announced by China's commerce ministry on Monday will focus on
pork intended for human consumption, such as fresh, cold and frozen whole cuts,
as well as pig intestines, bladders and stomachs. The probe will begin on June
17.

It was prompted by a complaint submitted by the China Animal Husbandry
Association on June 6 on behalf of the domestic pork industry, the ministry
said.
Following the European Commission's June 12 announcement that it would impose
anti-subsidy duties of up to 38.1% on imported Chinese cars from July, global
food companies have been on high alert for retaliatory tariffs from China, owing
to reports in the country's state media.

The state-backed Global Times newspaper first reported late last month that
Chinese firms planned to ask authorities to open an anti-dumping investigation
into some European pork products, citing an unidentified "business insider".
That was followed by a second report in the same outlet on June 8 requesting
officials probe European dairy imports.

Chinese authorities have previously dropped hints about possible retaliatory
measures through state media commentaries and interviews with industry figures.

China imported $6 billion worth of pork in 2023, including offal, with the EU
accounting for more than half, according to customs data.
Spain accounted for $1.5 billion worth of outbound swine shipments from the
bloc, almost three times as much as second and third ranking the Netherlands and
Denmark, which exported $620 million and $550 million of pork products,
respectively.
Growing alarm over Chinese industrial overcapacity flooding the EU with cheap
products, including EVs, is opening a new front in the West's trade war with
Beijing, which began with Washington's import tariffs in 2018.

EU trade policy is turning increasingly protective against the global
ramifications of China's production-focused, debt-driven debt model.
Governments typically place anti-dumping duties on imported goods when they
suspect the item in question is being sold for less than it cost to produce in
order to protect domestic firms.
European pork producers should be able to keep exporting to China tariff-free
while the investigation is underway, pending a decision and a tariff
announcement by the Chinese side.

The commerce ministry said that the investigation should be completed by June
17, 2025, but could be extended by another six months if required.
