In-Depth Information
- Recognize the operating record of international wind turbine of famous
foreign wind power producers.
Adopt and maintain a transparent bidding system to ensure an economic way
to develop the national wind power base and seaborne wind power projects.
Encourage enterprises (including foreign developers and equipment
suppliers) to participate in the policy-making and provide suggestions for
the industry.
Allow foreign developers in the development of the seaborne wind power
projects. Provide national treatment to the foreign wind power project with
the same requirement on the registered capital, i.e. 20 % to both the local and
foreign invested enterprises.
Allow foreign-owned enterprises to operate in the CDM.
Allow the equal application of the special funds for the industrialization of the
wind power equipment.
- Allow all wind turbine manufacturers to apply for the special funds based
on the process of their technology development.

- Cancel the requirement of the specific local certification on the wind
power equipment and abide by the international certification instead.
Conclusion
The EU's goals on climate change not only include addressing the practical
environment threats from climate change as a leader in global climate politics.
For their own economic sustainable development, EU countries want to strategically
maintain their leading position in the technology revolution. The EU's fundamental
objective is to continuously lead in the competitive global market in the future with
continuous energy and environment technology innovation. It needs to expand
export of low-carbon products and technology equipment to China because of its
large market. But the EU will be increasingly concerned about the national treat-
ment in Chinese market and IPR. More bilateral competition and frictions in the
opening of the low-carbon products and technologies market and investment liber-
alization will be seen in the future. On the other hand, EU and other Western
countries will be more cautious about transferring low-carbon technology to
China and more demanding on China's IPR in the context of the increasingly
stronger technology research and manufacturing strength of China. In fact, Euro-
pean governments and enterprises have already listed China's competition threat as
their most important business and political issue.

China therefore will face more
