Aproape un sfert din importurile UE cresc într-un 'ritm îngrijorător': China, principalul 'vinovat'

A significant rise in imports to the EU, particularly from China, raises concerns, according to EU trade negotiator Denis Redonnet. The increase is noted in machinery, textiles, metals, and chemicals, with China's trade surplus with the EU reaching €360.6 billion last year. While Chinese imports grow, EU exports to China decline, prompting calls for trade defense measures. Discussions are set to address the imbalance and potential export controls from China, as the EU aims to manage its increasing trade deficit and barriers faced by its exports. Redonnet emphasized the need for clear guidelines and pilot schemes to improve cooperation.
