Imposition of anti-dumping inox: Who benefits and who suffers?

 

Earlier fears imposition of anti-dumping duty stainless steel (stainless steel) for a number of foreign firms has been officially MOIT issued after 1 year of investigation, will affect businesses (DN) steel domestic dependence on imported steel as raw materials producer, former chairman of Vietnam Steel Association Pham Chi Cuong said: "There is now Vietnam does suffer at all."

 

Mr Pham Chi Cuong - Former Chairman Steel Association, who has been with the business from the first day when debating the proposal and impose or not to impose anti-dumping tax of foreign enterprises: "Investigation AD steel dumping took place nearly one year, Vietnam enterprises have been warned in advance and certainly no Vietnamese businesses affected at all. "

 

According to him, the anti-dumping order may make it difficult for Vietnam now?

Absolutely no shocks or difficult at all because we have one year to conduct investigation and warned local businesses on this. They must transfer import contracts to other companies, other market. This policy applies only to the changing impact of import plans of the company only. According to my observations, the steel companies are importing contract in few months, no contract 1 year or over 1 year should not have any influence.

 

The enterprises can completely replace imported counterparts in India, Russia would not like to enter the raw material from domestic enterprises. We did not impose import businesses must turn to domestic products where. This is the normal safeguard measures, favorable response to the market, industry, economy and consistent with international standards.

 

When you play bad, down to a record low price "kill" domestic production enterprises, Vietnam enterprises have the right to request proposals by that price, it can not guarantee breakeven, even in the case of companies That economic advantage due to large-scale production. This is completely normal measures for Vietnamese businesses to protect themselves before bad habits of foreign enterprises.

 

A year ago, there are many ideas about the "interests groups" in calling for imposition of anti-dumping orders from one of the domestic steelmakers, his views on this matter?

 

There were no! I am a witness from the first issue and I fully understand this. When I was working at Steel Association, the anti-dumping investigation by the Ministry of Industry and Trade, namely the Competition Management Department gave up after the first recommendations of the domestic steel production enterprises on sales too cheap, even, the "ideal price" to be able to produce stainless steel.

 

In late 2013, 18 companies imported for production of stainless steel to apply to the Competition Administration Department of Industry and Trade on the proposed anti-dumping investigation of two companies that Posco VST and Peace inox of Chinese enterprises, Taiwan, and Malaysia Indonesi. These companies said that the two companies filed the investigation accounted for 81% of the market supply of stainless steel in water pressure and service "interest groups".

 

However, in the first period of investigation and coordination with the 3rd one country to compare prices, we absolutely can confirm that enterprises subject to the antidumping duty this time is "right persons guilty ". Importers from these partners should switch other import partners, not abet breaking graphics market activity of foreign enterprises.

A year ago, when the agency initiated an anti-dumping investigation of stainless steel imports, many companies "jumping" up that would influence increase their input costs. However, the price is too cheap, undermining market can not enchant the importers to harm other production enterprises and create conditions for foreign companies dominate "manipulate" the market is .

 

This is the first time an industry, sector of Vietnam to impose anti-dumping against foreign firms in the various sectors we are currently so many other cases, he says, we need to prepare?

 

To be able to investigate and to impose anti-dumping investigation countries have built very many policy on Technical Barriers (TBT) and the fence about food safety (SBS), 3rd country comparisons price ... In the context of Vietnam professions is a lack of regulations on technical standards, or lower than other countries, it will be very difficult for us to impose anti-dumping and import bans if found the preservative residues exceeding the permitted level since the country has developed a more comprehensive law.

 

Currently, garment, seafood and food needed strict set technical barriers and sanitary food standards by our participation in the WTO and bilateral agreements, the rate of 0, the bad goods, shoddy goods must be managed strictly in accordance with the general standards of the world.

 

The pioneer in imposing anti-dumping duty in the steel industry will only be one first step, help domestic companies operating in other sectors have more confidence, bravery when appealed to the Ministry of Industry and Trade , the authority of the WTO to regain justice. I hope in the future, there will be more foreign enterprises take the price as a tool to "play" with Vietnamese enterprises will be eliminated from the market.
