BRUSSELS, Oct 25 (Reuters) - The European Commission plans import duties of up to 39.1 percent on Chinese-made glossy paper it says is being dumped on the EU market, escalating trade tensions with China, EU diplomats said on Monday.
Indonesian paper giant Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), which exports paper to Europe from China through two subsidiaries, will be the only company to be granted a lower rate at 19.7 percent, diplomats told Reuters.
