The European Union and China have reached an understanding on trade in hybrid vehicles following the latest round of negotiations, according to a statement from China\u2019s Ministry of Commerce.<\/p>\n
The ministry did not disclose details of the agreement but said it was consistent with World Trade Organization rules. Brussels and Beijing will continue negotiations on price undertakings and verification procedures as part of the EU\u2019s investigation into Chinese electric vehicles.<\/p>\n
Ahead of the latest round of talks in Beijing, media reports emerged that EU officials were considering introducing import quotas for Chinese hybrid vehicles. The European Union had previously urged China to voluntarily restrict their exports, warning that it could otherwise resort to protective measures.<\/p>\n
European Commissioner for Trade Maro\u0161 \u0160ef\u010dovi\u010d, who met with China\u2019s Minister of Commerce Wang Wentao and Vice Premier He Lifeng, will brief EU leaders on the outcome of the negotiations next week.<\/p>\n
Previous statements by European officials indicate that Brussels is seeking to reduce the trade imbalance with China. In September, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the EU\u2019s trade deficit in goods with China, which reached \u20ac1 billion per day in 2025, had become a turning point. She pledged to use all available tools to restore balance in trade between Europe and China.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":152306,"menu_order":0,"template":"","newscat":[9],"newstag":[],"issues":[],"class_list":["post-152305","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","newscat-novosti"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news\/152305","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/news"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/news"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/152306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=152305"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"newscat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newscat?post=152305"},{"taxonomy":"newstag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newstag?post=152305"},{"taxonomy":"issues","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/ldaily.ua\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/issues?post=152305"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
