The Chinese VE in Croatia cannot get a use permit because of the noise
CONCLUSION
The use of Chinese equipment for the construction of wind farms is an issue to which the European Union pays special attention. Truth be told, primarily due to the generous government subsidies of the Chinese government to equipment manufacturers there, and the example from Croatia, a member of the European Union, shows that unfair competition is not the only problem when it comes to Chinese manufacturers. The European Union has very strict standards when it comes to protecting the human environment, especially when it comes to the production of green energy. It is precisely the fact that the Chinese investor cannot reduce the level of noise that exceeds the permitted limits that resulted in the non-issuance of a use permit, because the Chinese investor is unable to comply with the provisions on the amount of noise.
This text illustrates how the EU member states treat investors who do not respect environmental standards, while in most countries of the Western Balkans such behavior by the authorities is rare.
Despite numerous warnings from the media and non-governmental organizations about violations of environmental regulations by Chinese investors, in the countries of the Western Balkans, the authorities, most often, do not use the legal mechanisms at their disposal to force Chinese investors to implement environmental protection measures.
