German Chancellor: Some EU countries oppose the proposal to impose tariffs on electric cars from china.
The recent proposal by the European Union to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles has attracted widespread attention. On October 4, EU member states voted on a five-year anti-subsidy tax on Chinese electric vehicles. According to the announcement of the European Commission, the proposal has received sufficient support.
Despite the fact that this proposal has gained sufficient support from member states, German Chancellor Scholz recently criticized the EU's proposal to impose tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles in a speech to the German parliament. He stated that 17 countries within the EU do not support this policy, and most of the EU's automotive manufacturers also oppose the proposal. Previously, Scholz had explicitly opposed and criticized the EU's imposition of tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles on the 2nd of this month.
