Core Viewpoint - The EU Chamber of Commerce in China strongly opposes the recent intensive investigations by the EU into alleged subsidies for Chinese enterprises, calling for an immediate halt to discriminatory and arbitrary enforcement actions against Chinese companies [1][2]. Group 1: Investigations and Regulations - The EU has launched a series of deep investigations and "dawn raids" on Chinese state-controlled enterprises under its Foreign Subsidies Regulation, which the EU Chamber claims is a misuse of regulatory tools targeting Chinese firms [1]. - The definition of "foreign subsidies" under the EU's regulation is criticized for being overly vague and broad, potentially exceeding reasonable bounds of current international trade and subsidy rules [1]. Group 2: Impact on Chinese Enterprises - Since the implementation of the Foreign Subsidies Regulation, most investigations initiated by the EU have targeted Chinese enterprises, leading to several companies being forced to withdraw from EU public procurement projects [1]. - A survey conducted by the EU Chamber among 205 Chinese enterprises and institutions revealed that 63% reported their business being affected by the EU's regulation, including direct impacts, loss of business opportunities, or operational risks due to potential investigations [2]. - Additionally, 51% of the surveyed enterprises believe that the regulation has indirectly harmed their commercial reputation and market image [2]. Group 3: Call for Fair Practices - The EU Chamber urges the EU to exercise caution in using the investigative powers granted by the Foreign Subsidies Regulation and to stop discriminatory and unfounded enforcement actions against Chinese enterprises [2]. - There is a call for the EU to reduce compliance burdens on companies and to provide a fair, just, and transparent business environment for foreign investors, promoting healthy and stable development of Sino-European investment and trade relations [2].
