On October 4, 2024, the European Commission’s proposal to impose definitive countervailing duties on imports of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) from China has obtained the necessary support from EU Member States for the adoption of tariffs. This represents another step towards the conclusion of the Commission’s anti-subsidy investigation.
In parallel, the EU and China continue to work hard to explore an alternative solution that would have to be fully WTO-compatible, adequate in addressing the injurious subsidization established by the Commission’s investigation, monitorable and enforceable.
A Commission Implementing Regulation including the definitive findings in the investigation must be published in the Official Journal by 30 October 2024, at the latest.
Today’s vote by EU Member States took place under the Examination Procedure of EU Comitology rules, at the Trade Defence Instruments Committee.
The statement is also available online. More information on the case is available on the Commission’s Trade website, in the public register under case number AS689.
