The statement said that the EU and China continue to work to explore alternative solutions that are fully compliant with WTO regulations, adequately address the damaging subsidies identified by the Commission's investigation, and be monitorable and enforceable.
The day before, Germany Chancellor Olaf Scholz told the outside world that Germany would oppose the new tariffs imposed by the EU on Chinese electric vehicles in a vote held on the 4th. Before the vote that day, Hungary Prime Minister Viktor Orban said that the current economic strategy of the European Union represents an "economic cold war".
On October 4 last year, the European Commission launched a countervailing investigation on electric vehicles imported from China, and on July 4 this year, it began to impose temporary countervailing duties on Chinese electric vehicles. On August 20, the European Union released the final draft of the anti-subsidy investigation of China's electric vehicles, indicating that it intends to impose countervailing duties of 17% to 36.3% on Chinese electric vehicles.
