On October 4th, representatives of EU member states voted to pass the draft of the European EU EU’s anti -subsidy case submitted by the European Commission, and planned to levy the final anti -subsidy tax on electric vehicles native to China. In this regard, the European Union and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce strongly call on the European side to act prudently, delay the implementation of tariffs, and strive to friction and differences through dialogue and consultation.
In the statement of the EU China Chamber of Commerce, on October 4, 2024, the media reported that EU member states voted for the final measures of the EU’s EU’s anti -subsidy investigation of China Electric Vehicle. The European Commission can levy a five -year high anti -subsidy tax on electric vehicles from China. The EU and the Chinese Chamber of Commerce were deeply disappointed with the results of this voting, and expressed strong dissatisfaction with the European side to promote trade protectionist measures. At the same time, the Chamber of Commerce learned that the China -Europe negotiating team is still in full swing negotiations to find possible solutions.
Therefore, we strongly call on the European party to do cautiously, postpone the implementation of tariffs, and strive to rub and disagree through the proper dialogue consultations to avoid bilateral bilateral sides. Trade friction upgrades to jointly maintain free trade and prosperity in the fields of China and the global green cleaning field, and promote the efforts of both parties and global response to the world with practical actions.
The Chamber of Commerce once again emphasized that the EU’s anti -subsidy investigation initiated by China Electric Vehicle is an unfair protectionist approach under political drive. The overall supply chain advantage of development. High -amount anti -subsidy taxes not only affect Chinese companies, but also will interfere with European and global companies to produce electric vehicles in China in China; high tariffs on electric vehicles native to China will not enhance the toughness of local industries in Europe and other markets. The anti -investment of the relevant Chinese investment in Europe will eventually weaken the competitiveness of the European market itself and the vitality of the global electric vehicle industry chain.
“We will pay close attention to the relevant negotiations of China and Europe. We look forward to the European party from the perspective of maintaining multilateralism and promoting the realization of green goals, and go with China to reach a constructive solution through dialogue and consultation.”
