中国厂商否认向欧盟倾销电动车

Chinese electric bike producers in Brussels on Wednesday fought against a European Union trade investigation¹, calling on the EU not to penalise consumers.

 

在布鲁塞尔的一家中国电动车生产商周三对欧盟的贸易调查进行回击，呼吁欧盟不要惩罚消费者。

 

Representatives from the China Chamber² of Commerce for Imports and Exports of Machinery³ and Electronic Products (CCCME), a trade organization on behalf of Chinese producers, participated in a hearing held by the European Commission on the ongoing⁴ anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations⁵ of electric bicycles imported from China in Brussels.

 

The imposition of duties would harm large parts of the European industry, which is dependent on imports of parts from China, as well as European consumers by reducing choice and driving prices up, impeding⁶ the development of clean mobility⁷ and efforts to reduce carbon emissions⁸ in the EU, CCCME representatives said.

 

"The potential imposition of tariffs⁹ would be detrimental¹⁰ to Chinese producers and EU consumers alike, and would deprive Europe of a sustainable e-mobility solution. We hope the European Commission will take this into account and come to a fair and reasonable decision." said Chen Huiqing, director of the legal service department of CCCME.

 

After complaint from the European Bicycle Manufacturers Association (EBMA), regarding imports of "cycles, with pedal assistance, with an auxiliary¹¹ electric motor" from China, the Commission opened an investigation into the alleged¹² unfair trade practice of Chinese e-bike manufacturers in October 2017.

 

EBMA proposed that Switzerland should be used as "a country with a similar level of economic development" to China so as to measure whether Chinese e-bike producers engaged in dumping.
