The EU Anti-Dumping Committee decided on the 14th to continue to impose a 66% anti-dumping duty on energy-saving light bulbs from China. After the news came out, all sectors of the EU, especially environmentalists, immediately expressed disappointment and dissatisfaction. They called on the EU Council to consider carefully and disapprove the decision.
After more than a month of internal discussions, the EU Anti-Dumping Committee finally decided on the 14th to accept the European Commission's recommendation that it continue to impose a 66% anti-dumping duty on energy-saving light bulbs imported from China within the next year. Currently, the decision has entered the approval process of the Council of the European Union. Once the board of directors deliberated, it will mean that the EU will implement anti-dumping measures on China's energy-saving light bulbs into the seventh year.
Since 2001, in view of the pressure of manufacturers of similar products in the EU, the EU has imposed a maximum anti-dumping duty of 66% on China's energy-saving light bulbs, which makes the prices of such products in the EU continue to rise, the number is difficult to increase, China's energy-saving lamps enterprises Because of the inability to bear the loss, most of them are looking for sales. To this end, starting this year, EU officials including EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson, EU business people, and EU environmentalists have strongly appealed to the EU to cancel the anti-dumping measures. Mandelson even confidently expected the deadline for the measure to be October this year. In fact, at the EU anti-dumping policy advisory meeting held on July 26 this year, most EU member states and EU policy advisers agreed that the EU should immediately address the reasons for protecting the environment, reducing energy consumption and promoting the competitiveness of EU companies. Stop charging anti-dumping duties on Chinese energy-saving light bulbs.
However, due to strong pressure from some EU-based companies, the European Commission had to suddenly change its position on August 29 and proposed to the EU Anti-Dumping Committee to continue to extend the measure for one year. The move caused disappointment and dissatisfaction from EU policy experts and environmentalists. Public opinion accused the European Commission of surrendering to local protectionism and overriding the entire bulb industry with the interests of some companies.
On the evening of the 14th, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) issued an urgent statement on the decision of the EU Anti-Dumping Committee, expressing "disappointment" with the decision of the EU Anti-Dumping Committee. The organization’s trade adviser in the European Union, Evand Hoff, stressed that this approach runs counter to the EU’s current energy policy on climate change and is not conducive to cooperation between the EU and China in addressing climate change. He asked the Council of the European Union Careful consideration is given to the approval of this decision. LED lighting and backlighting are used in the color screen market
