    EBMA files an anti dumping complaint on chinese e-bikes.

    I disagree. The anti-dumping action benefits very few (Accell, Pon, Prophete, Bosch) and hurt tens of millions of consumers. the fact that EU production is concentrated in just a few very large companies speaks volume.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    swallow their pride and accept that any brexit is still better than no brexit. the reality is if they don't pipe down a little, as flecc said, more people will get fed up with their noises and there will be a second referendum.

    more waffles. If he wanted to do something positive, he would have intervened. let's see how much ADD they are going to slap on e-bikes. I reckon the real battle is on the anti-circumvention measures.

    Brexit, for once some facts.

    the vast majority of people won't be much affected economically by brexit. Export/import companies are and they don't vote. There is no reason for individuals to change the way they vote. Perversely, I stand to benefit from a hard brexit.
