EU's cancellation of anti-dumping tax reports on energy-saving bulbs is not accurate
Chen Yansheng said that the EU anti-dumping committee will be discussed again in September, and the final decision will be made by EU member states. The results are still uncertain.
In 2001, the EU imposed anti-dumping duties ranging from 0 to 58.6% on eight energy-saving lamp exporters in China, and other Chinese companies were subject to 66.1% anti-dumping duties, from July 2001 to July 2006.
At the end of this anti-dumping period, Osram and GE, the lighting equipment manufacturers of Siemens AG, once again accused China of dumping energy-saving lamps.
Afterwards, the EU launched a 15-month independent investigation of Chinese energy-saving lamps. The "sunset review" that China's energy-saving lamps should have been carried out in May has not yet reached a final conclusion.
Chen Yansheng said that the proposal to cancel the anti-dumping duty on Chinese energy-saving lamps proposed by EU Trade Commissioner Mandelson said: "From the beginning of the year, the two forces within the EU agreed and disagreed can be said to be evenly matched. Recently, the call for cancellation Higher, but opposed attitude is still tough."
According to Reuters, in the discussion held at the end of July, 9 of the 27 EU member states explicitly expressed their opposition to Mandelson’s proposal, 10 supported it, and 8 others asked for more time to consider. Four countries indicated that they would not oppose the proposal.
According to EU voting rules, abstentions will be seen as support on anti-dumping issues, which means that the proposal has been supported by 14 countries, just over half. But analysts believe that Germany, which is taking the lead in opposing the proposal, is likely to change the swaying small EU countries.
Mandelson and his supporters demanded the cancellation of this anti-dumping duty for environmental protection and energy conservation purposes. The European Union plans to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions by one-fifth by 2020. According to estimates by the European Commission, all households in the European Union can reduce household lighting by 60% if they replace all incandescent lamps with energy-saving lamps.
The World Wide Fund for Nature believes that energy-saving bulbs produced in China are 20% more energy efficient than conventional bulbs. Eliminating anti-dumping tariffs on this product will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
It is reported that some EU countries have announced that they will phase out old incandescent bulbs. The European Lights Enterprise Alliance has also proposed a detailed and complex plan to replace high-energy old-fashioned incandescent bulbs with energy-saving bulbs in Europe by 2015.
The European Commission said that the anti-dumping duties imposed on energy-saving light bulbs produced in China have caused the price of such bulbs to rise by two-thirds in the European market. At the same time, data provided by the Dutch company Philips to the European Union shows that in the past five years, due to anti-dumping investigations by the Chinese energy-saving lamp industry, the price of energy-saving lamps in the EU has increased by 25%.
"If the anti-dumping duty on China's energy-saving lamps can be abolished, the price of energy-saving lamps in the EU market will drop sharply," an industry source said.
Chen Yansheng said that China's energy-saving lamp production capacity accounts for 80% of the world's total. In 2006, China's energy-saving lamp exports amounted to 1.5 billion US dollars, and in the first half of 2007, it reached 900 million US dollars. “The data shows that the export volume and export volume of China's energy-saving lamps are increasing year by year.â€
Since being sanctioned, many Chinese lighting companies have abandoned the European market and turned to other countries and regions.
Chen Yansheng said that even if the EU cancels the anti-dumping duty, Chinese companies cannot be blindly optimistic because the EU has added many new technical barriers in recent years.
He said: "The top priority for Chinese companies is to improve product quality as soon as possible."
