EU Investigates Nuctech for Unfair Market Penetration Aided by Beijing Subsidies

The European Union has initiated formal investigations into Nuctech, a prominent Chinese manufacturer of airport security scanners. This probe aims to determine whether the company unfairly penetrated the EU market, leveraging substantial subsidies provided by the Beijing government. The investigation focuses on potential distortions of fair competition within the critical sector of aviation security equipment.

This action underscores the EU's commitment to ensuring a level playing field for businesses operating within its single market. Should the investigation confirm that Nuctech benefited from unfair state aid, it could lead to trade remedies or other measures designed to restore equitable market conditions for European and international competitors in the commercial aviation security industry.
