Italy Backed EU Tariffs for China Electric Vehicles

Italy has voted in favour of a European Union move to impose provisional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, a government source said on Monday.

The European Union is imposing provisional tariffs of up to 37.6% on EVs imported from China, ratcheting up tensions with Beijing in the EU’s largest trade case yet.

This first vote is not binding. It will be followed by a final vote after which the European Commission’s tariff proposal will be adopted unless there is qualified majority against it.
