14/9/2024 6:43

        The European Union is aiming to hold a vote to introduce definitive tariffs on electric vehicles imported from China on Sept. 25, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the plan.
        
        The European Commission is on the verge of proposing final tariffs of up to 35.3% on EVs built in China, on top of the EU's standard 10% car import duty.
        
        On Thursday, the EU received offers from EV makers in China for minimum import prices into the union as a way of avoiding tariffs, but had rejected all of them.
        
        The European Commission declined to comment on the Bloomberg report.
        
        EU trade chief Valdis Dombrovskis will meet Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao next Thursday.
