La UE pacta con China reducir un 50% las importaciones de coches híbridos
En el marco de las negociaciones para reequilibrar las relaciones comerciales, el bloque comunitario pacta también un mayor acceso a tierras raras y aranceles más bajos para exportaciones por 4.000 millones. Leer
In the framework of negotiations aimed at rebalancing trade relations, the European Union agreed to grant China greater access to rare earth elements and lower tariffs on exports worth €4 billion. The Union-Europe and China approached each other after years of trade conflict. Maros Sefcovic, the EU Commission's Trade Commissioner, announced the agreement with Beijing after two days of negotiations and meetings with his Asian counterpart, Wang Wentao.
The most significant point - and the one that caused the most friction between the regions - is the pact on the automotive industry. China commits to moderating its exports of hybrid and plug-in hybrid vehicles to the European Union with the aim of reducing its exports by around 50%. This agreement alleviates pressure on the European industry, which had accused the Asian country of unfair competition.
This is a crucial first step, but it is only the first step in the process of rebalancing, assured the EU trade representative.
