現在大局已定，反傾銷稅將會從明年一月開始徵收。看來最高達79.3%的稅收政策已突破最後障礙。這結果是歐盟貿易救濟措施委員會（Trade Defense Instruments Committee）的各成員國代表在上週二會議做出的決定，他們投票支持歐盟執委會對中國進口電動自行車徵收反傾銷稅。

DOETINCHEM, the Netherlands - The final print edition of Bike Europe's 22nd (2018) volume is now online available. Here are some of the magazine's highlights:
美國，雷諾市（Reno）－Interbike主辦單位Emerald Expositions於12月6日宣佈2019年將暫停舉辦該展。隸屬Emerald Expositions的Sports Group副總裁Darrell Denny表示：「美國自行車市場在過去四年相當煎熬。」該國自行車市場原本的情況就不理想，再加上今年川普政府宣佈對中的關稅政策，對Interbike而言更是雪上加霜。
比利時，布魯塞爾（Brussels）－歐盟的交通產業為溫室氣體（GHG）排放最高的單一產業，比1990年的排放量多了約百分之二十，佔總溫室氣體排放的四分之一。今年聯合國氣候大會COP24位波蘭舉辦，加上讓人感到擔憂的氣候預測，是時候了解單車騎乘能夠對抗氣候變遷的真相了。歐洲自行車聯盟（ECF）近期對此做出明確表示。
瑞典，斯哥德爾摩（Stockholm）－天氣好壞一直都是影響自行車銷售的一大因素，今年炎熱無雨的夏季讓瑞典的自行車業績飆升，特別是電動自行車。除了天氣之外，政府的補助政策也是銷售上升的原因。今年瑞典電動自行車熱銷成長53%，銷售總量破10萬。
荷蘭，杜廷赫姆（Doetinchem）－高速電動輔助自行車（speed pedelecs）截至今年11月在荷蘭的銷售成長近8%。由於電動自行車市場還在擴張，在歐洲的發展尚未明朗，因此荷蘭的市場發展可被視為更多國家的指標，特別是那些電動自行車市場已成熟的國家。很明顯地，高速電動輔助自行車已有相當可觀的市佔率。
BRUSSELS, Belgium - The EU transport sector alone stands as the single biggest greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting economic sector, exceeding 1990 emission levels by around 20% and accounting for about 25% of all GHG emissions. In the context of the COP24 Conference currently taking place in Katowice
TAIPEI, Taiwan - Will a major move of the e-bike production out of China come in the next months? That question was widely discussed at the last month held Taipei Cycle Show. This was caused by the fact that finally the dumping message has sunk in among Chinese e-bike producers and exporters.
