The EU adopts trade protectionist measures against my country’s clean energy products and the China Chamber of Commerce for Machinery and Electronics responds_Oriental Fortune Network

On April 22, the China Chamber of Commerce for Machinery and Electronics responded to reporters’ questions on the EU’s trade protectionist measures against China’s clean energy products.

Q: Recently, the EU announced an investigation into Chinese wind turbine suppliers in five EU countries. In addition, some European photovoltaic manufacturers have publicly requested that imports from China be investigated.solar energyBatteryTake action to protect local industries. Do you have any comments on the above trends?

A: For some time, some EU government officials and industry insiders have been frequently hyping up the “threat theory” of China’s photovoltaic, wind power and other clean energy products, demanding trade protectionist measures against China’s clean energy products in the name of maintaining fair competition. The latest trend is that on April 9, the European Commission announced that it would launch an investigation into China’s wind turbine suppliers in the five EU countries based on the Foreign Subsidy Regulation (FSR). In this regard, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has lodged stern representations with the European side, urging The European side must immediately stop and correct its wrong practices.

The China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (hereinafter referred to as the “China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products”) has expressed high concern and strong dissatisfaction with the above-mentioned investigation by the European side. The European investigation has seriously damaged the confidence of Chinese wind power companies to carry out investment and trade cooperation in Europe, disrupted mutually beneficial industrial cooperation between China and Europe, and will also affect global efforts to address climate change and the process of green transformation. At the same time, we have also noticed that the governments of some EU member states such as France and relevant industry associations have publicly opposed the adoption of trade protection measures on imported photovoltaic, wind power and other products. The China Chamber of Commerce for Machinery and Electronics expresses its appreciation for this and hopes that China and Europe can further deepen cooperation in the field of green energy and truly achieve mutual benefit and win-win results for both industries.

After years of unremitting efforts, China has become an indispensable force in the development of global clean energy and continues to share high-quality green energy products with the world. Relying on continuous technological innovation, a complete production and supply chain system and full market competition, Chinese clean energy companies have achieved rapid development, won competitive advantages, and are in a leading position in the world. At present, China’s photovoltaic and wind power products have been exported to more than 200 countries and regions around the world, and are generally favored and recognized by the market. They have provided effective help in accelerating the global green energy transformation and made important contributions to achieving the goal of low global greenhouse gas emissions. contribute.

China and the EU are each other’s important economic and trade partners, and their industrial chains are interdependent. Green cooperation has become one of the key areas of cooperation between China and the EU, with great potential and broad prospects for cooperation. In the field of clean energy, China has always upheld an open and cooperative attitude, carried out in-depth exchanges and cooperation with EU companies in various aspects such as product research and development, technological innovation, production investment, etc., actively assisted Europe’s green transformation, and also actively supported EU companies to invest in China. operation, promote the healthy development of the green energy industries of both parties, and work together towards a green future.

At present, actively developing clean energy and promoting green and low-carbon economic and social transformation have become the general consensus of the international community to deal with global climate change. As important clean energy products, photovoltaic and wind power are widely used and are of great significance to effectively respond to climate change, optimize energy structure, and accelerate green transformation. The China Chamber of Commerce for Machinery and Electronics, representing China’s photovoltaic, wind power and other green energy industries, calls on the European side to abandon trade protectionist practices, strengthen exchanges and dialogue with China in the field of green energy, deepen trade and investment cooperation, promote cooperation through exchanges, promote development through cooperation, and accelerate green transformation , join hands to respond to global climate change and move towards a green future.
