EU: Anti-dumping on imports of certain graphite electrode systems
COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2024/2686 of 17 October 2024 initiating an investigation concerning possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/558 on imports of certain graphite electrode systems originating in the People’s Republic of China by imports of artificial graphite in blocks or cylinders originating in the People’s Republic of China and making such imports subject to registration.

EU imposes duties on unfairly subsidised electric vehicles from China while discussions on price undertakings continue
The European Commission concluded its anti-subsidy investigation by imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) from China for a period of five years. As previously disclosed, the investigation found that the BEV value chain in China benefits from unfair subsidization which is causing threat of economic injury to EU producers of BEVs. As a result, the duties will enter into force on the day following publication in the Official Journal.
In parallel, the EU and China continue to work towards finding alternative, WTO-compatible solutions that would be effective in addressing the problems identified by the investigation. The Commission also remains open to negotiating price undertakings with individual exporters, as is permitted under EU and WTO rules.
- Countervailing duties imposed for five years
As from the entry into force of the measures, sampled Chinese exporting producers will be subject to the following countervailing duties:
- BYD: 17.0%
- Geely: 18.8%
- SAIC: 35.3%
Other cooperating companies will be subject to a duty of 20.7%. Following a substantiated request for an individual examination, Tesla will be assigned a duty of 7.8%. All other non-cooperating companies will have a duty of 35.3%. Definitive duties will be collected as of entry into force. The provisional duties imposed on imports of BEVs from China on 4 July 2024 will not be collected.
- Ensuring the effectiveness and fairness of measures
Going forward, the Commission will monitor the effectiveness of the measures in force, including to ensure that they are not circumvented. Any exporting producer who cooperated and is subject to the sample average duty, or who is a new exporter, is entitled to request an accelerated review to establish an individual duty rate. The measures will expire at the end of the 5-year period unless an expiry review is initiated before that date. Importers may request a refund if they believe their exporting producer is not subsidised or if their subsidy margin is less than the duties paid by the importers. Such a request should be duly substantiated and supported by the respective evidence.
