BEIJING - China has decided to launch a review of existing anti-dumping measures on potato starch imported from the EU and extend antidumping duties on potato starch imports from the EU for another year beginning on Monday, according to the Ministry of Commerce (MOC).

China will continue to impose the same anti-dumping duty rates set last year on imported potato starch before the review ends on February 6, 2013, the MOC said in a statement on its website.

Potato starch imports from the EU are subject to anti-subsidy duties ranging from 7.5 to 12.4 percent, according to an MOC ruling dating back to September last year.

The MOC launched an anti-subsidy probe into EU potato starch exports on August 30, 2010 at the request of the China Starch Industry Association.
