Deficitul comercial al UE cu China a depășit un miliard de euro pe zi. Sejourne: UE va folosi instrumentele de apărare comercială

The European Commissioner for Industry warns that the EU may impose punitive trade measures if China does not address the unsustainable trade deficit, which is costing thousands of jobs weekly. The EU's trade relationship with China is deemed urgent for rebalancing, with a significant deficit exceeding one billion euros daily. The EU has initiated crucial negotiations with China, aiming for concrete results by October, coinciding with a high-stakes visit to Beijing. The Commissioner emphasized the need for credible action and indicated that trade defense tools, such as anti-dumping duties, are on the table. The EU is also closely monitoring US-China negotiations, as outcomes could directly impact European economic interests.
