After the EU launched an anti -subsidy survey of Chinese electric vehicles, it was announced that it would conduct anti -dumping investigations on biological diesel imported from China.
Scholars of interviewed scholars analyzed, After the meeting of China and Europe, The continued heating up of the economic and trade friction between the two parties may cause new friction in Sino -Europe relations that have stabilized and restored mechanisms.
On Wednesday (December 20), local time of the European Commission, a statement said that it has begun to investigate China's allegations of dumping biological diesel in the EU market.If the dumping is confirmed and the interests of EU manufacturers are found, the committee can take measures to make up the impact of the EU's interests. These measures are generally improving import tariffs.
The European Commission launched an investigation after receiving a complaint from the European Biofeels Commission on Chinese dumping biological diesel.
In August this year, the European Union has begun to investigate whether biological diesels from Indonesia are imported through China and the United Kingdom to avoid EU tariffs.The latest round of surveys 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 pointed out in the statement: "EU manufacturers have submitted evidence of the EU imports of biological diesel imported from China at low prices, saying that these imports have seriously damaged their industry because they cannot be with such a low price price.Competition.
China is the largest source of imported biological diesel this year this year. In the middle of this year, it has been reported that in April, Waste-Based BIODIESEL, which was shipped from China to the European Union in April, increased by nearly 30%.It reached 125,466 tons, an increase of 43%over the same period last year.The European Biological diesel committee criticized "China's dumping imported products in 2023, which led to the collapse of the EU market in 2023, and several member states closed the production base."The committee also pointed out that there are structural imbalances with China's biological diesel trade, and the price does not reflect that most goods are classified as high -grade or waste -based biofuel categories.
A spokesman for the Ministry of Commerce Shu Tingting on Thursday (December 21) in a regular press conference said that China has always advocated reasonable use of trade relief measures and resolutely opposed the protectionism of the abuse of trade relief measuresAct, "We will pay close attention to the subsequent operations of the European side."
The tension between China and Europe in the field of economy and trade has been heating up in recent years. European leaders have stated that they want to risk China; EU officially launched an anti -subsidy survey of Chinese electric vehicles in early October, which caused strong dissatisfaction in China.
Earlier this month, Prime Minister of the State Council of the State Council of the State Council and the chairman of the European Council, Michelle, and the chairman of the European Commission, Feng Delin, co -hosted by the China -EU leaders in Beijing to release the signal of China -EU seeking a stable relationship.China urged the European Union to introduce restrictive economic and trade policies in the meeting, while the European Union required China to resolve the increasingly expanding bilateral trade deficit; but in less than a month, the trade friction between the two parties showed signs of further expansion.
Zhuang Jiaying, an associate professor at the Department of Political Science of the National University of Singapore, was judged in an interview with the United Zard that biological diesel had previously become one of the controversial points of European -China economic and trade relations.However, the EU survey should not have much substantial impact on the Chinese economy. The EU's imports from China only account for a small part of the total trade volume of both parties.
However, Wang Yili, a professor at the School of International Relations and Director of the EU Research Center of Renmin University of China, pointed out in an interview that the survey of biological diesel will have a psychological impact and influence beyond the industry, reflectingCompetition is rising, "and" and the competition is not just market competition, but also the competition of systems and ideas. "
Wang Yilu's research and judgment, the investigation may lead to new frictions in China -Europe relations that have stabilized and restored mechanisms.
