BEIJING, July 18 (Reuters) – China on Thursday named Danish Crown A/S, as well as Dutch and Spanish pork firms as targets in an anti-dumping probe into European Union pork imports, as Beijing steps up pressure against the bloc’s curbs on its electric vehicle exports.
The world’s biggest pork consumer opened the investigation after the EU imposed provisional duties of up to 37.6% on Chinese-made electric vehicles.
The measures could badly impact Europe because a large portion of the bloc’s pork shipments to China are pig ears, noses, feet and offal that are only rarely consumed by Europeans.
Farmer-owned Danish Crown, one of the world’s biggest pork exporters, said it was fully committed to the investigation.
“Danish Crown has registered to participate in the investigation and submitted all relevant information to the investigating authority,” the Denmark-based company said in a statement.
