About 5,000 workers from 19 European countries marched on Brussels on 15 February to urge EU leaders to stop China dumping and reject Market Economy Status (MES) for China.

Milan Nitzschke, spokesperson for AEGIS Europe, said: “We are marching on Brussels today by the thousands to give a clear message to EU policy-makers ‘Say YES to jobs & fair trade; and say NO to MES for China!’”

AEGIS Europe is an alliance of about 30 European industrial sectors which combined generate over €500 billion in annual turnover and millions of jobs.

The march started on 15 February at 11h30 at the Schuman roundabout in Brussels, in front of the European Commission. Workers and industry leaders from 19 European countries (including Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Greece, France, Finland, Germany, The Netherlands, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Spain, Slovakia, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) were united by the European Industrial Manifesto for Free and Fair Trade.
