China to issue final ruling of anti-dumping investigation into EU brandy

China's Ministry of Commerce confirmed Thursday that the country will soon deliver a final verdict in the anti-dumping investigation into brandy originating from the European Union (EU).

At a regular press briefing, ministry spokeswoman He Yongqian responded to a media query on whether China would extend the ongoing probe or convert the current provisional tariffs - which reach up to 39 percent - into permanent duties.

"This matter pertains to China's anti-dumping investigation into imported brandy originating from the EU. We have addressed this issue on multiple occasions previously. In accordance with Chinese laws and WTO rules, China's investigating authority will issue its final ruling in the coming days. For updates on the progress, please refer to the official website of the Ministry of Commerce," said He.

The Ministry of Commerce initiated the investigation on Jan. 5 2024, following a request from China's domestic industry. The ministry had previously decided to extend the probe until July 5, 2025.

Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian has issued an order to restore access to international internet to the level before the January unrest, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Monday.

The directive was handed over to the Ministry of Information and Communications Technology on Monday and approved by a special government cyberspace headquarters led by First Vice President Mohammad-Reza Aref.

According to the Iranian Students' News Agency, the order will take effect on Tuesday.

Iran restricted international internet access on Jan 8 when nationwide demonstrations over economic issues, including the sharp depreciation of the national currency the rial, escalated into clashes that caused casualties and damage to public property, including mosques and government buildings. Tehran has blamed the unrest on the United States and Israel.

After weeks of blackout, international internet access was returned to normal for a while, but the restrictions were reimposed on Feb 28 when the United States and Israel launched joint massive attacks on Iran.
