The article reports that, in a sign of a backlash against cheap Chinese imports in the European Union, several EU Member States, including France, Germany and Italy, are pushing for punitive tariffs on Chinese goods, February 2008. The European Commissioners from those countries are trying to overrule a decision by Peter Mandelson, the UK Trade Commissioner, not to recommend anti-dumping duties on air compressors from China. They have pressed for a discussion by all 27 Commissioners at their weekly meeting, 27 February 2008.
