EU inför nya tullar på elfordon tillverkade i Kina | NTD NYHETER

In order to ensure that the price will stay up, Beijing plans to raise EU duties on Chinese-made cars. The new tariffs will range from 7.8% for Tesla to over 35% for the state-supported company SAIC. This is in addition to a standard import levy of 10%. The additional customs duties were officially announced on 29 October and came into force on 30 October. The EU says that measures are necessary to prevent China from providing legal state support to its companies, including special loans and cheap materials. It says that millions of extra Chinese dollars are likely to be on their way to Europe otherwise, since the US and Canada have already introduced their own sky-high tariffs. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce in the EU expressed deep concern over the so-called orthodox measures and criticised the long-term progress in talks on the issue. Beijing has responded by investigating EU conjoined, mixed and fibreglass products and has questioned EU action in world trade organisations. European billing manufacturers are facing an influx of cheaper electricity from China, which now has 8% of the EU market compared to less than 1% in 2019. This figure could rise to 15% by 2025 with prices for Chinese bicycles which are usually 20% higher than for bicycles manufactured in Europe. Some EU Member States are not satisfied with the EU's decisions. Germany, the region's largest bile producer, was one of the countries that opposed the proposal because of fears that the big bile exporters might be subject to reprisals. The Land's Ministry of Economy has sought a diplomatic solution to reduce trade tensions and protect EU industry.
