300.000 de locuri de muncă ar putea dispărea. Concurența din China pune presiune pe industria europeană

The European industry faces a significant threat from increasing competition from China, potentially leading to the loss of 300,000 jobs by 2026. Eurometal warns that without intervention from EU authorities, many factories may close as Chinese companies sell products at lower prices. A protest in Brussels will highlight the urgency of the situation, using symbolic coffins to represent the jobs at risk. The EU has begun implementing tariffs on Chinese imports, but the trade imbalance remains substantial. The situation is particularly dire in Germany, where job losses are already evident. Companies are struggling with high operational costs compared to their Chinese counterparts, making competition increasingly difficult.
