China<\/strong> sued the European Union (EU)<\/strong> before the dispute mechanism of the World Trade Organization (WTO)<\/strong> for the tariffs imposed by the bloc on electric vehicles<\/strong> from the Asian giant<\/strong>, which came into force last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to EFE news agency<\/strong>, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce<\/strong> informed that the complaint seeks to \u201csafeguard the interests of the development of the electric vehicle industry<\/strong> and global cooperation on \u2018green transformation<\/strong>\u2019\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

China<\/strong> had already appealed last August to the WTO dispute mechanism<\/strong> over preliminary measures taken by the EU<\/strong> in response to subsidies received by Chinese electric car manufacturers<\/strong>, but this new lawsuit refers to the final measure of applying tariffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trade Dispute<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is regrettable to see the European side<\/strong> announce its final decision<\/strong> (…) despite numerous objections from relevant actors such as member state governments, industries and public opinion<\/strong>,\u201d the ministry<\/strong> said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The new tariffs<\/strong> came into force on October 30<\/strong>, date on which this same department assured that it \u201cneither agrees nor accepts<\/strong>\u201d the Brussels decision<\/strong>, which for the Chinese government<\/strong> \u201cseriously<\/strong>\u201d violates WTO rules<\/strong> and lacks \u201cobjective and legal basis<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The European Executive<\/strong> will apply a tariff of 35.3%<\/strong> to the Chinese manufacturer SAIC<\/strong> (MG and Maxus, among other brands), 18.8%<\/strong> to Geely<\/strong> and 17%<\/strong> to BYD<\/strong>, for a maximum of five years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The measure will also affect Western companies<\/strong> that produce in China<\/strong>, such as the American Tesla<\/strong>, to which a tariff of 7.8%<\/strong> will be applied, while others that have cooperated with the Commission<\/strong> in the investigation it carried out before approving the tariffs will be charged a rate of 20.7%<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EU<\/strong> took this step because it considers that, despite the division it generates among the EU-27<\/strong>, it received sufficient support in the vote held by EU governments<\/strong> earlier this month: five countries<\/strong> opposed the application of the tariffs (including Germany<\/strong>), ten supported them<\/strong> and twelve abstained<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
