A China agrees to export fewer hybrid cars to the European Union, following the recent negotiations between the 27 block and the Asian country. European car manufacturers welcome developments.
The European Automobile Manufacturers Association (ACEA) said that “welcomes the announcement by the European Commission and China of a provisional agreement to correct critical trade imbalances“ according to a statement.
“ Pending a detailed examination of the content of this agreement, this announcement is a positive progress to mitigate trade tensions between the two parties“, he added.
“ A sudden and marked destabilisation of the European market, accompanied by price wars similar to those currently characteristic of the Chinese market, would have highly disturbing effects on the european economy as a whole“, said Sigrid de Vries, director-general of ACEA, quoted in the same note.
