Summary/Abstract: By December 2016, the European Union should decide whether to grant market economy status (MES) to China. If it does, MES would result in lower anti-dumping duties for Chinese goods and negatively affect the EU’s labour market. In turn, refusal to grant MES would worsen political and economic relations with China. Poland should support MES for China but also strive to strengthen other instruments to protect the EU market in line with the European Commission’s proposal from July this year.
