China will extend its probe into dairy imports from the European Union for another six months, delaying a decision as tensions linger between the two trade partners.

The investigation, launched in August last year, has now been extended until Feb. 21 next year, due to the “complexity of the case,” the commerce ministry said in a statement released on its website.
