ged the EU to stop basing its anti-dumping investigations into Chinese goods on its "surrogate country system，" under which costs of production in a third country are used to calculate the value of products from non-market economies.


"The surrogate country system should be abandoned by Dec. 11， 2016 under the agreement signed when China joined the World Trade Organization. It is an obligation to be delivered by all the WTO members，" Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hong Lei said at a regular news briefing on Wednesday.


The issue has come to a head after the European Parliament said in a non-binding resolution last week that China failed to meet the five EU criteria defining a market economy， urging that Chinese exports be treated in a "non-standard way" so as to "ensure a level playing field for EU industry and defend EU jobs."


"China... firmly opposes the European move. The end of the surrogate country system， as required in the WTO agreement， has nothing to do with whether China meets the EU's criteria for a market economy，" Hong said.


The definition of market economy status exists only in some WTO members' internal laws， rather than the WTO rules， so the EU standards for market economy status cannot serve as the prerequisite for delivering the WTO obligations， according to the spokesperson.


He said China hopes the EU "meets its obligation by the deadline to create conditions for bilateral friendly cooperation."

" The old tradition of releasing an FA Cup final song – or a World Cup-timed football chant – may be resigned to the past Shaq Lawson Jersey , but these hits have truly earned their place in footballing folklore.
Three Lions – Baddiel and Skinner with the Lightning Seeds (1996)
Originally released as England’s anthem to Euro 96, this went straight to No.1, shooting back there again following its re-release ahead of World Cup 1998. Featuring cameos by England legends past and present Dion Dawkins Jersey , the tune has become synonymous with English football and continues to chart each time England qualify for a major tournament. This is easily the most recognisable of the chants, and one of the better performances, unlike England’s in the ’96 Euro final.
World in Motion – New Order (1998)
Written for England’s 1990 World Cup team Zay Jones Jersey , this was – unbelievably – New Order’s only ever number one. With contributions from the entire squad alongside cameos from comedian Keith Allen and 1966 commentator Kenneth Wolstenholme, it’s perhaps best remembered as a showcase for the hidden rapping skills of John Barnes. Popular demand saw a 2010 re-release, which Tre'Davious White Jersey , whilst not as successful as the previous release, was still a large hit in the United Kingdom.
Fergie Time – Jim Daly (2013)
Star of animated YouTube football channel ‘The Football Special’, Daly’s song dedicated to Sir Alex Ferguson captures its subject perfectly. With reference to the (alleged) leniency Man United are given with regards to extra time Kyle Williams Jersey , the razor-sharp lyrics successfully but gently poke fun at one of football’s sacred giants.
Anfield Rap – Liverpool FC (1998)
John Barnes first cut his rapping teeth on this record. Released ahead of Liverpool’s FA Cup Final Match, this ‘so bad, it’s good’ classic was a collaboration between Liverpool player Craig Johnston and singer Derek B.
With wince-inducing raps from the entire team LeSean McCoy Jersey , this Run DMC-inspired jam featured Scouse-infused contributions from Bruce Grobbelaar and legendary commentator Brian Moore. This song, being of a quality similar to Liverpool’s performance in recent years, is more often than not Tremaine Edmunds Jersey , enjoyed whilst not entirely sober.
