Factbox-EU probes on Chinese subsidies and imports
The EU has also launched several investigations into whether Chinese clean tech producers are dumping subsidised goods on its market and whether Chinese-owned companies unfairly benefit from subsidies while operating inside the EU. The European Commission, which is carrying out the investigations, says its aim is to prevent unfair competition and market distortion. The EU could launch a probe into China's procurement of medical devices as early as mid-April, Bloomberg News reported on April 15, citing people familiar with the matter.

Eating disorders still a "huge problem" in climbing, gold medallist Garnbret says
Eating disorders remain a "huge" issue in climbing, Olympic gold medallist Janja Garnbret said, even as new regulations meant to stop dangerously underweight athletes competing came into effect earlier this month. Climbers benefit from a higher strength-to-weight ratio and many resort to losing weight rather than getting stronger, not realising the damage that could do to their health. Under the regulations, in force since April 9, climbers provide details of their height, weight, heart rate and blood pressure, and national federations either issue a health certificate based on those parameters, or request more testing.

Ghana deal with bondholders 'a matter of time', says IMF official
Ghana agreeing a restructuring with holders of its international bonds is "a matter of time" rather than there being insurmountable hurdles, an IMF official said, after the fund said a previous proposed deal would not fit its parameters. "It depends on ... how much time and intensity the government is going to be able to devote to (negotiations) in the coming weeks," African Department director Abebe Selassie said in an interview at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Spring Meetings in Washington. Earlier this week, Ghana's government said it had not been able to reach a workable restructuring agreement with two groups of holders of about $13 billion in overseas bonds and that talks would continue until it finds a deal consistent with the IMF's debt sustainability targets.

The World Health Organization is likely to issue a wider warning about contaminated Johnson and Johnson-made children's cough syrup found in Nigeria last week, it said in an email. Nigeria's regulator recalled a batch of Benylin syrup last Wednesday, having found a high level of diethylene glycol in the product during routine testing.
