The European Commission remains confident that its measures targeting Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) comply with World Trade Organisation (WTO) regulations, despite recent pushback from Beijing. The Commission’s investigation into state subsidies for Chinese EVs continues, even as China has formally requested a WTO consultation, arguing that the EU’s actions lack both factual and legal foundation.

In July, the EU imposed provisional tariffs as high as 37.6% on Chinese-made electric vehicles, following an investigation that revealed significant state subsidies from the Chinese government. The EU’s move is seen as a protective measure to shield its domestic EV industry from what it considers unfair competition.

“The Commission is confident of the WTO-compatibility of its investigation and provisional measures,” a spokesperson for the European Commission stated, indicating that the investigation will proceed as planned. “This request for WTO consultations does not affect the timeline of the anti-subsidy investigation, which in the meantime continues.”

China, in its defense, claims that the EU’s investigation and the subsequent tariffs are in direct violation of WTO rules. The dispute has now moved to the WTO, where cases are often lengthy and complicated, further hampered by the absence of a functioning Appellate Body since 2019. However, both the EU and China are part of the Multi-Party Interim Appeal Arbitration Arrangement (MPIA), which offers an alternative avenue for dispute resolution during the current impasse at the WTO.

As the dispute unfolds, the future of EU-China trade relations, particularly in the rapidly growing electric vehicle sector, hangs in the balance. The outcome of this case could set a significant precedent for international trade practices in the green technology sector.
