한어Русский языкEnglishFrançaisIndonesianSanskrit日本語DeutschPortuguêsΕλληνικάespañolItalianoSuomalainenLatina

positions of both parties:

when meeting with valdis dombrovskis, executive vice president of the european commission and commissioner for trade, at the eu headquarters, chinese minister of commerce wang wentao clearly expressed china's dissatisfaction and concerns about the eu's anti-subsidy case on electric vehicles. china believes that the european commission initiated an anti-subsidy investigation on electric vehicles without an application from the eu industry, and the ruling was non-compliant, unreasonable and unfair. although china cannot agree with or accept this, it has always been sincere and worked hard to properly resolve the issue through dialogue and consultation.

on the other hand, the eu expressed reservations about china's "price commitment solution". they believe that the investigation procedure of the electric vehicle anti-subsidy case was initiated based on the application of its own industry, in line with the laws of china and the eu and the rules of the world trade organization, and conducted the investigation strictly in accordance with the law and regulations, openly and transparently.

difficulty of negotiation:

the difficulty of this negotiation is mainly reflected in the differences in the views and demands of the two sides on the anti-subsidy case for electric vehicles. the chinese government hopes to resolve economic and trade frictions through dialogue and consultation and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises; the eu believes that reasonable taxation should be carried out according to market rules. this makes the negotiations between china and the eu more complicated.

looking forward to further development of china-eu trade relations:

both sides expressed the hope to resolve differences through friendly dialogue and consultation and reach a solution acceptable to both sides. china and the eu demonstrated their cooperation and communication model during the negotiation process of the electric vehicle anti-subsidy case. this is not only a test of the trade relationship between china and the eu, but also a positive signal for future china-eu bilateral cooperation.

it is hoped that through this negotiation, china and europe can reach a consensus, promote the development of the electric vehicle industry, and ultimately achieve a win-win situation.
