BEIJING - China has submitted the EU's temporary anti-subsidy measures on electric vehicles to the World Trade Organisation (WTO) dispute settlement mechanism and the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has responded to reporters' questions on the matter.
Question: It has come to our attention that China has filed a WTO case against the EU's temporary anti-subsidy measures on electric vehicles. Could you please provide details?
A: In order to protect the rights and interests of the electric vehicle industry and global cooperation on green transformation, China sued the EU's temporary anti-subsidy measures on electric vehicles to the WTO dispute settlement mechanism on August 9.
The EU's preliminary decision lacks a factual and legal basis, seriously violates WTO rules and undermines the overall situation of global cooperation to tackle climate change. We call on the EU to immediately correct its wrong practices and jointly maintain the stability of economic and trade cooperation between China and the EU and the electric vehicle industry's supply chain and supply chain.
