欧盟废除了对美国乙醇的反倾销职责

据报道，欧盟委员会5月14日宣布取消对欧盟进口美国乙醇征收的反倾销税乙醇生产商杂志。自2013年初以来，反倾销职责已经到位。

美国谷物委员会（USGC），增长能源和可再生能源协会（RFA）的代表欢迎欧洲委员会未经欧洲联盟（欧盟）进口美国乙醇的反倾销职责的决定。

欧洲委员会对委员会的反倾销行动到期审查的决定源于2013年，从那时起就已经到位。在宣布其决定时，USGC没有发现证据证明继续延续这些职责，并且他们的删除职责不会鼓励欧盟倾销。

“今天在欧盟的决定允许我们的行业和美国谷物委员会的成员非常欢迎美国乙醇的更多开放通道，”汤姆斯·罗伊威理工组织和首席执行官汤姆斯通表示。“我们期待着与欧盟的客户和同行合作，履行其生物燃料政策和环境和价指的消费者所需的乙醇。”

全球增长能源市场高级副总裁克雷格·威利斯也欢迎欧洲委员会决定开设市场自由和公平竞争。

"By removing unjustified duties on U.S. ethanol, the Commission is opening critical new opportunities for member states to take full advantage of affordable, low-carbon biofuels. It’s a win-win for our EU trading partners, who will be better positioned to meet their environmental goals while holding down prices for European drivers," he says. "We are pleased with the Commission’s decision to terminate these penalties immediately. RFA has always maintained these penalties were unjustified and unwarranted,” according to RFA CEO Geoff Cooper. “The U.S. ethanol industry is looking forward to resuming more open trade relations with the European Union. With today’s removal of these duties, consumers in the EU will once again have unfettered access to clean, affordable, renewable fuels.”
