Dark Practices in Lighting

Chapter Chapter 15 in International Trade Policy and European Industry, 2014, pp 353-406 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This Chapter is about dumping from China. It shows the peculiarities of dealing with a non-market economy and the problems an industry incurs when it tries to tackle the serious economic and political problems encountered in trade with China. China is treated as non-market economy, which from its perspective implies a worse treatment. (Non-market economies are Azerbaijan, Belarus, North Korea, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan; and countries considered as economies in transition include Albania, Armenia, China, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Mongolia and Vietnam. In terms of economic performance, but with less clout, Vietnam is copying China.) This is not necessarily correct. Criminal behaviour and fraud by Chinese exporters appeared matchless. The dumping affair of Chinese energy saving lamps was one of the most bizarre examples of political blackmail, interference, irregularities, European producers discord, European Commission arbitrariness, biased decision making and internal European Commission competence struggles ever, resulting in a weird compromise giving the idea to the Chinese that, henceforth, they had a free rein in trade policy.
