More details from petition creator
EC Regulation 1470/2001 imposed anti-dumping duties on imports of compact flourescent lamps (low-energy bulbs)from China of up to 66.1%. EC By Regulation 866/2005 this was extended to cover imports from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Republic of the Philippines. There was a slight revision in 2006 by EC Regulation 1322/2006. Given the overwhelming scientific evidence of global warming, the Prime Minister and the EU ought to scrap such duties to encourage the greater up-take of this technology.
