The European Commission has proposed imposing provisional tariffs on electric vehicles (EVs) imported from the Chinese mainland, a move that has drawn significant attention from industry experts and international observers. Daniel Gros, director of the Centre for European Policy Studies, shared his perspective on this development during an interview with CGTN’s Xu Yi at the Bund Summit.
Gros believes that the impact of the EU’s proposed tariffs on Chinese EVs will be limited. While the tariffs are intended to address concerns within the European automotive market, Gros suggests that their actual effect may not significantly alter the dynamics of the EV industry.
The Bund Summit, hosted in Shanghai, serves as a platform for leading economists and policymakers to discuss pressing global economic issues. Gros’s insights contribute to the broader conversation about international trade and the evolving landscape of the electric vehicle market.
As the EU and the Chinese mainland navigate these trade considerations, stakeholders from both regions are closely monitoring the potential implications for the automotive sector. The dialogue underscores the importance of cooperation and understanding in addressing global economic challenges.
