According to foreign media reports, three EU diplomats revealed that trade experts from EU countries will not vote next week to decide whether to impose tariffs on imported electric vehicles from China.
This agenda has been removed from the agenda of the September 25 meeting.
, Normally, before voting, the European Commission first needs to formally share the final results of its countervailing investigations with governments, but the European Commission has not yet announced the final results of the investigation.
Two diplomats revealed that since no new voting date has been set, it seems that the vote may be held as early as the week of September 30.
“They have removed this agenda but did not say why,” one of the diplomats revealed.
It is unclear whether the September 25 meeting will be held as scheduled without a vote.
, Photo source: EU, This week, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao traveled to Brussels to meet with EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis to find a solution to avoid additional tariffs.
, It is reported that on the basis of imposing a 10% standard tariff on imported cars, the EU is considering imposing an additional tariff of 7.
8% to 35.
3% on imported electric vehicles from China.
Wang Wentao pointed out that in the face of the EU’s anti-subsidy investigation on electric vehicles against China, China will carry out its efforts to negotiate and resolve the problem until the last moment.
Earlier, people familiar with the matter revealed that the EU plans to vote on September 25 on whether to impose final tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China.
Unless 15 EU member states (representing 65% of the EU’s population) vote against it, it will pave the way for the EU to impose final tariffs starting in November.
However, people familiar with the matter said that the voting date may still change.
Currently, China hopes to persuade enough EU countries to vote against the five-year final tariffs to start an appeal process.
However, it is worth mentioning that in relevant EU votes, anti-dumping and countervailing measures are rarely rejected, and the European Commission has never been defeated on appeal.
