On February 28, Ecosen Environmental Technical News, the European Chemicals Agency ECHA organized a forum on shaping the future of chemicals, which emphasized that stricter, broader and more influential policies will be implemented for chemical regulations such as REACH. The European Union (EU) often sets strict regulations and standards for products and services to ensure that consumers receive a certain level of quality, safety, and fairness. From 2024, the European Union will impose strict inspections on products placed on the market.
However, this year, our country is still spreading the word "volume" with cheapness, from products to services, all revealing fierce low prices or cheap services. Compliance itself is the service goal of product quality, but China is full of malicious plagiarism and leakage of compliance data, including in addition to "half-way" service agencies, including relevant public institutions. Today, from the perspective of the EU market and legislators, when it comes to "cheap" services in Europe, there may be some reasons for the underlying logic of Europe's lack of trust or caution in treating these services.
Consumer protection: The EU prioritizes consumer protection. Cheap services can sometimes cut corners on quality, safety, or reliability, which can be harmful to consumers. (Taking the EU REACH and the EU's new battery law as examples, the country is full of free half-barrel water technical regulations training, and on the surface, car companies or battery companies think that they have made money, but in fact, even the compliance obligations are wrong, resulting in the wrong strategic decisions of enterprises).
Health & Safety: Particularly in areas such as healthcare, foodservice and transport, the EU wants to ensure that low ** does not compromise health and safety standards.
Environmental impact: Some inexpensive services can cause harm to the environment. For example, they may not comply with regulations on low carbon emissions or waste disposal, as well as falsification of data.
Unfair practices: In some cases, "cheap" services are able to offer such low rates because they exploit labor, evade taxes, or engage in other unethical practices. This undermines the level playing field that the EU is trying to promote. This is why the EU is investigating China's electric vehicles with countervailing (see: The details behind the EU countervailing investigation of China's three car companies!) ）
Dumping: The EU wants to avoid "dumping", where companies sell products or services in other markets at a lower price than their home market**. This can harm local businesses and lead to monopolies.
Economic impact: Competition can hurt the industry in the long run. This can lead to job losses, lower wages, and the loss of skilled labor. (The involution itself is a kind of disorderly competition, the current domestic compliance agencies involution, resulting in low price and low quality services, taking the EU REACH compliance service as an example, many domestic institutions randomly pick a few parts to screen, and then deliver, in the details of the check is not seriously dealt with, the reason is also a lack of professionalism).
Legal compliance: Some inexpensive services may not comply with EU regulations, whether in terms of data protection, labor laws, or product safety.
Liability and compensation: If something goes wrong with a cheap service, it can be difficult for consumers to get compensation or find a service provider to take responsibility.
Reputation: The EU wants to protect consumer trust in the marketplace. If people continue to have bad experiences with cheap services, it will damage the trust of the entire market.
After-sales service: Cheap service may not provide adequate after-sales support, warranty, or customer service.
Long-term costs: Sometimes, seemingly cheap services may eventually cause long-term costs due to repairs, replacements or additional costs, and when regulations are traced, it is likely to trigger recalls or fines.
Social welfare: The EU considers the wider social impact of services. Cheap services that lead to social inequality or poor working conditions are often discouraged.
All in all, the EU's cautious approach to cheap services stems from its desire to protect consumers, ensure fair competition, promote sustainable development, and safeguard the long-term interests of Europe's citizens and economy. They are committed to striking a balance between quality, fairness, and trust in the market.
Finally, we hope that car companies and battery companies will keep their eyes open when making choices, and procurement and decision-makers will not be blinded by low prices! The relevant domestic institutions, please improve your market structure - do not rob the private economy of the job, the European market is not your backer nor your relation, the plagiarist is not big and can not get the hearts of the people, please really serve the car companies made in China, and truly upgrade the Chinese standard to the world standard. We welcome major testing, certification, law firms, auditing, carbon service agencies, you are all partners of our alliance, there is no one in the world business, only cooperation, in order to achieve together, all people far
