Reports from Brussels suggest that EU trade experts voted on Thursday in favour of slapping an anti-dumping duty of 25 percent on imports of Chinese steel wire rods, a diplomat said.
The duties, which came after EU producers complained of Chinese dumping hurting their businesses, risk fuelling tensions with China after a series of recent anti-dumping decisions against emerging Asian economic giant.
EU nations have been divided in recent Chinese anti-dumping decisions as the bloc struggles to deal with booming Chinese imports.
Last month EU countries narrowly voted in favour of duties on Chinese-made screws and bolts in one of the biggest anti-dumping cases against the emerging economic giant.In retaliation, China launched an anti-dumping probe into screws and bolts made in the European Union.
