"I am not a fan of countervailing duties because this will likely lead to countermeasures and involve us in a tariff dispute, perhaps a tariff war, with China," German Economy Minister Robert Habeck said on Monday.
The vote would decide whether the Commission's tariffs on China-made EV imports will be imposed for the next 5 years in the EU. If a qualified majority votes to impose the tariffs, they will take effect by November 2024.
According to the most recent information, the Commission plans to impose tariffs rate as high as 35%, significantly lower than the initial rate of around 38%. The duties will be applied on top of the EU's current 10% rate on car imports.
China has responded to the Commission's tariffs with investigations that may result in tariffs on European imports, impacting countries like Spain and Germany, which rely on exports to China.
