The European Union reported on Wednesday (December 20) that they will begin a anti -dumping survey of biological diesel imported from China. The EU industry said that the input of Chinese biological diesel has led to reduced production in the EU member states.
According to Reuters, in August this year, the European Union began to investigate whether biological diesel from Indonesia was imported through China and Britain to avoid EU tariffs.
The latest round of surveys were caused by the complaint from the producer organization, the European Biofeels Commission (EBB), and the investigation will cover transactions from October 1, 2022 to September 30, 2023.The survey will last for up to 14 months and may levy temporary tariffs within eight months.
The European Commission said in the statement: "EU producers have submitted evidence of biological diesel imported from China at low prices, saying that these imports seriously damaged their industry because they could not be unable to cannotCompetition with such a low price.
The European Biological Diesel Commission said in another statement that China was the largest exporter of EU biological diesel in 2023."China's dumping imported products in this year caused the EU market to collapse, and several member states closed the production base."
The European Biological diesel committee said that except for Indonesia biological dieselChina's biological diesel trade also has structural imbalances, and the price does not reflect that most goods are classified as high -grade or waste -based biofuel categories.
In another trade dispute with Beijing, the European Commission in September this year conducted an anti -subsidy survey of imported anti -subsidy of Chinese electric vehicles, saying that Chinese products benefited from national subsidies.China criticized the EU's investigation, calling it "naked protectionism."
