Brian Montgomery, chairman of EBMA, said his organisation had submitted a detailed complaint to the EU on "injurious dumping from bicycle exporters in Vietnam."
EBMA also requested an interim review of the 1993 anti-dumping measures on bicycles from the PeopleÂ’s Republic of China. EBMA would like to see a substantial increase in duties.
The European Commission has accepted to investigate both complaints and this is announced on the 29th April 2004 in the EU Official Journal, No.C. 103.
Montgomery said: "The implants of Taiwanese industry to low-wage Vietnam , and the subsidies received, have but one main objective which is the unfair penetration of the European bicycle market and injury to EU bicycle producers. This has to be investigated as does the resurgence of Chinese bicycle imports at ridiculously low prices."
