Commission investigation provisionally concludes that electric vehicle value chains in China benefit from unfair subsidies

The European Commission has provisionally concluded that the battery electric vehicles value chain in China benefits from unfair subsidisation. In this context, the Commission has pre-disclosed the level of provisional countervailing duties it would impose on imports of BEVs from China. Should discussions with Chinese authorities not lead to an effective solution, these provisional countervailing duties would be introduced from 4 July by a guarantee (in the form to be decided by customs in each Member State).
