"Madam President, for such an important debate, I would have liked Baroness Ashton to have been present or at least one Member of the Council.
Good for China! It has decided to lead the way in green technology; 38% of its massive recovery plan has been invested into these new industries. It is already the number one producer and biggest exporter of solar panels and wind turbines in the world.
We would be only too delighted with this new direction, which can help reduce pollution levels in China and world-wide, were production to be carried out in accordance with WTO rules. However, that is not the case.
Chinese exporting companies receive massive aid from state banks and local authorities. Although some green technology markets are open to foreign companies and foreign investment, many remain restricted in terms of quotas and some are even closed. Our European industries are under threat in the light of such unfair competition.
Commissioner, China has signed WTO agreements. The European Union must ensure that it adheres strictly to the rules."@en1
