[Auto] Germany wants to avoid tariffs on Chinese cars to counterreloj

[Noticias ALEJANDRO]

Sometimes, backing is the most intelligent. They think of Germany, who already work to prevent the new European Union tariffs on Chinese electric cars, or at least soften them in case it is not possible to stop them completely.

 

 

Last Wednesday the news arrived from Brussels: additional tariffs were imposed on imported electric cars from China, raising taxes to 48.1 %, depending on the degree of cooperation that companies had shown during EU investigation. The first indicated were Byd, Geely and Saic (owner of MG), accused of distorting the market through state subsidies and violating the rules of the World Trade Organization.

Panic of Germany
Obviously, the Chinese response has not been waiting, even if it has not been completed. The Asian giant has threatened reprisals in agriculture, aviation and cars with large engines, showing its deep disappointment and firm opposition to European measures on electric vehicles. And it is that any retaliation could harm German manufacturers such as Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz or BMW, which depend largely on sales in China, the world's largest car market.
