The Chinese Commerce Ministry welcome the ruling from a European court saying that China is not dumping its seamless steel. Mofcom said the European Council has abused its power and applied the wrong law to the matter and that Chinese firms' right were severely harmed in the process. The ministry urged the European Council to abide by the WTO rules. The court ruling, which came out last week, upheld the preliminary result from a lower court, saying the allegation does not hold substantial evidence, and dismissed the European Council's charge.
