September 10th - According to Reuters, sources familiar with the matter revealed that several European governments plan to push the EU to activate a rare trade defense tool to protect the chemical and plastics industries. The EU is reportedly tightening its trade stance as its industrial base, including the crisis-stricken chemical sector, is increasingly threatened by imports, while also facing partial closures of many US markets due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. Three sources said that France, Italy, and possibly Germany—the EUs three largest economies—plan to submit broad import quota requests, known as "safeguards," within weeks. The requests will focus on the polymer resin PET (widely used in packaging) and the chemicals epoxy resin and fiberglass. The EU currently has more than 150 trade measures in place, most of which impose tariffs on narrowly defined products to combat dumping or unfair subsidies, but only one set of safeguards targets ferroalloys, with a separate system of import restrictions on steel.On September 10th, it was reported that the 2026 Moutai Liquor Production Technology Analysis Conference was held at the Moutai Conference Center on September 9th.
