Brussels – The tariff war between the EU and\u00a0China <\/strong>comes into full swing. The European Commission has requested consultations at<\/strong>\u00a0the World Trade Organization (WTO)\u00a0over the\u00a0tariffs imposed by the People’s Republic on ‘made in the EU’ brandy<\/a>. It is the latest act in the escalating\u00a0clash between Brussels and Beijing since the EU imposed tariffs on Chinese electric cars.<\/p>\n

The EU is holding its ground and is determined to assert\u00a0its position. China’s provisional tariffs are considered “not in line” with\u00a0\u00a0WTO<\/a> rules and unfounded because “China has not proven that there is any threat of injury to its brandy industry,” the EU executive said while\u00a0announcing the formal request to start consultation at the World Trade Organization<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“By requesting consultations with China over its provisional anti-dumping measures on EU brandy, the Commission is following through on its commitment to protect our industry from unfounded accusations<\/strong> and misuse of trade defense measures,” Trade Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis <\/strong>stressed.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is little doubt in Brussels that the People’s Republic’s decision to impose duties on European brandy is nothing more than retaliation for the EU’s decision to respond to government subsidies for battery-powered cars produced in the Asian country. The Beijing government announced provisional duties on European spirits on Oct. 8.\u00a0When,\u00a0on Oct. 29, the EU made final duties on Chinese eco-friendly cars<\/a>, Beijing took it from there and\u00a0did the rest: on Nov. 11, Chinese tariffs became definitive.<\/p>\n

The EU’s decision to initiate consultations at the WTO is\u00a0a necessary preliminary step\u00a0to\u00a0start dispute settlement procedures in the World Trade Organization.<\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0Now,<\/strong>\u00a0China\u00a0has 10 days to respond to the EU’s request<\/strong> to find a mutually convenient consultation format and date.<\/span><\/span> If a\u00a0satisfactory solution is not reached, the case may be referred to a WTO panel for resolution. Either way, the EU-China trade war begins.
