Abstract: The birth of "EU's Double Green Directives" is the product of the new trade protectionism and the environmental Movement, and its implementation will have a greater negative effect on China's electrical and electronic products. Accordingly, China should rightly understand the Directives' properties and characteristics, and China's related export enterprises should try to increase environmental and technological degrees of productivity and trade and resist and fight with the trade protectionism.

Key words: green barriers, new trade protectionism, related countermeasures, double green directives
