China Q&A Extract from the press briefing (20 September 2024)

Q: Next week, the EU will vote on imposing customs duties on electric vehicles manufactured in China. Will the French government support that measure?

A: Our ongoing priority has been to guarantee fair trade conditions. Efforts to achieve this have to be carried out at the European level. We support the initiatives that the European Commission put forward to this end, which are consistent with WTO rules.
