Is your company involved in any of the following:

• Importing electric bicycles, electric cargo bikes, or speed pedelecs from China and paying duties?
• Importing electric bikes, electric cargocycles, or speed pedelecs from a non-EU country OTHER THAN China?
• Importing components from China for the assembly of electric bikes, electric cargocycles, or speed pedelecs within the EU?

Is your company facing:

• Investigation by national customs services and/or OLAF?
• Accusations of circumventing measures against China?
• Legal action for circumventing measures against China?

If so, we strongly recommend that you become a part of the Ad Hoc Group established by LEVA-EU to collectively oppose the potential extension of these measures.

What will the Ad Hoc Group do?

• Request recognition from the European Commission as an interested party.
• Submit joint comments on the Commission’s review.
• Seek a hearing from the European Commission, allowing companies to express their views.
• Provide assistance from a specialized lawyer.
• Communicate the group’s activities to the press and on social media.
• Lobby other influential entities on this matter.

How to Participate?

• A modest contribution, based on the number of employees in your company, is required for participation in the Ad Hoc Group.
• Participation can be kept confidential.
• LEVA-EU membership is not a prerequisite for joining the Ad Hoc Group.
• LEVA-EU members receive a discount on the contribution.

Meeting Details:

• The Ad Hoc Group will conduct multiple meetings, with the first scheduled for February 15, both in-person in Brussels and online.
