Top officials from both regions spoke about the tariffs on a call on Saturday and agreed to discuss them further, though frictions remain. The call marks the first time the two sides have agreed to negotiate since the EU threatened China with electric vehicle (EV) tariffs of up to 38%.<\/p>\n<p>The EU said Chinese EVs were unfairly subsidised by its government. In response, China accused the EU of protectionism and trade rule breaches. An EU spokesperson told the BBC the call between Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis and his Chinese counterpart Wang Wentao was \u201ccandid and constructive\u201d.<br \/>\nThey said the two sides would \u201ccontinue to engage at all levels in the coming weeks\u201d. However, the spokesperson also doubled down on the EU\u2019s opposition to how the Chinese EV industry is funded. They said \u201cany negotiated outcome\u201d to the proposed tariffs must address the \u201cinjurious subsidisation\u201d of Chinese EVs. China released a similar statement on Saturday and made clear it still disagreed with the EU.<\/p>\n<p>As well as its call with the EU, Mr Wentao met with German Vice-Chancellor and Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Climate Action Robert Habeck on Saturday. In a Facebook post about the meeting, China\u2019s Ministry of Commerce said it had told Mr Habeck about its \u201cfirm opposition\u201d to the tariffs.It repeated its threat to file a lawsuit with the World Trade Organisation (WTO) \u201cto firmly defend its legitimate rights and interests\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Germany has also expressed criticism of the tariffs. When the EU first proposed them last week following its investigation of Chinese EVs in the trading bloc, Germany&#8217;s Transport Minister, Volker Wissing, said the move risked a &#8220;trade war&#8221; with Beijing. &#8220;The European Commission&#8217;s punitive tariffs hit German companies and their top products,&#8221; he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, at the time. The European car industry has been critical too.<\/p>\n<p>Stellantis &#8211; which owns Citro\u00ebn, Peugeot, Vauxhall, Fiat, and several other brands &#8211; said it did not support measures that &#8220;contribute to the world fragmentation [of trade]&#8221;. The proposed charges range from 17.4% to 38.1%, depending on the brand and how much they negotiated with the EU&#8217;s investigation. They would come on top of the current rate of 10% levied on all electric cars produced in China. The EU&#8217;s intervention comes after the US made the much bolder move of raising its tariff on Chinese electric cars from 25% to 100% last month.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cw999dwp313o\">BBC<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/china-and-eu-to-hold-talks-on-electric-car-tariffs\/\">China and EU to hold talks on electric car tariffs<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[758,6238,274,15035,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-131835","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-china","tag-electric-car","tag-eu","tag-traffis","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131835","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=131835"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/131835\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=131835"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=131835"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=131835"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
