The EU removed the anti-dumping duties on April 1, 2011, while Aokang continued with the lawsuit despite the removal.
Experts said Aokang's "legal victory" could bring the company more than 5 million yuan (801,600 US dollars) in compensation for the legal costs, and importers and exporters in trade relations with Aokang will get back the anti-dumping duties levied by the EU during the past six years.
Experts also believe that the winning of the case will create a legal basis for the Chinese shoemakers when facing international trade disputes in the future. Enditem
