The EU and China have reportedly agreed to start talks on the planned imposition of tariffs on Chinese-made EVs.Germany's Economy Minister Robert Habeck said he had been informed by EU commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis that there would be concrete negotiations on tariffs with China.
He said it was a first step and many more will be necessary. "We are far from the end, but at least, it is a first step that was not possible before." Habeck said there is time for a dialogue between the EU and China on tariff issues before the duties come into full effect in November and that he believes in open markets but that markets require a level playing field.Another point of tension between Beijing and Berlin is China's support for Russia in its war in Ukraine. Habeck noted Chinese trade with Russia increased more than 40% last year.
Proposed EU tariffs on Chinese goods are not a "punishment", Habeck told Chinese officials earlier in Beijing. "It is important to understand that these are not punitive tariffs," he said in the first plenary session of a climate and transformation dialogue. Any countervailing duty measure that results from the EU review "is not a punishment", he said, adding that such measures were meant to compensate for the advantages granted to Chinese companies by Beijing.
