A CHINESE surveillance equipment firm, operating under European Union (EU) regulations, was raided by EU officials, reports Hong Kong's South China Morning Post.
Inspectors entered the premises of the Dutch and Polish subsidiaries of the Chinese company, involved in the manufacture of surveillance equipment. The raids were a dramatic utilisation of an EU economic tool that has struck fear into the hearts of Chinese businesses operating in Europe.
The European Commission released a statement saying it was ※carrying out unannounced inspections at the premises of a company active in the production and sale of security equipment in the EU.§
