The European Footwear Association of Importers and Retailchains (FAIR) has strongly criticised the EU Commission's anti-dumping investigation against footwear as being faulty and biased”.

The proposal to introduce anti-dumping duties against imports of footwear from China and Vietnam has been criticised from many sides and now FAIR has proclaimed that not only would duties have catastrophic results for consumers and the footwear industry, but the investigation itself contains major factual gaps and errors. The association has appealed to EU Member States to reject the Commission proposal and to demand a more thorough and objective investigation.
