L'UE veut encore empêcher les consommateurs qui le souhaitent de se chausser à petit prix:

The European Commission is running out of time for setting up an anti-dumping scheme to deal with leather shoes coming from Asia at below-cost prices, after member states experts rejected a second proposal on Thursday (3 August). (...) The first commission proposal envisaged a system whereby 145 million pairs of Chinese shoes and Vietnamese 95 million pairs would be allowed into the EU without duties, while anything above those thresholds would be put under duties.It was rejected by the shoe producing countries like Italy and Spain for being soft on Asian shoe exporters.EU member states are divided between northern European countries, which at an early stage moved their shoe factories to Asia and are now importing them, and southern European countries that still produce shoes themselves.
