European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič recently offered comments on efforts to address EU-China trade conflict.

The European Union and China laid the groundwork for a safeguard measure that will cap annual imports of Chinese hybrid vehicles at 350,000 units, as the EU is planning moves to curb a recent influx in imports of these cars from China.

China and the European Union have agreed to explore possible tariff reductions and consider measures to facilitate trade in dual-use goods, Chinese officials said, following two days of talks in Beijing aimed at easing trade tensions.

Wrapping up a visit to Beijing, EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič offered a positive assessment of what had been achieved, although the details still needed to be confirmed with EU leaders and a timeframe for a full resolution remains unclear.

In advance of a trip to China this week by European Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič, the leaders of France and Germany have issued a "non-paper" that was likely designed in part to strengthen the hand of EU negotiators.

China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) announced an anti-dumping investigation into imports of p-Nitrotoluene (PNT) originating from the European Union, following a formal petition filed by domestic producers.

At an event today in Berlin, EU Trade Commissioner Maroš Šefčovič and Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on International Trade Bernd Lange offered thoughts on the upcoming EU-China trade discussions, and well as the relationship more broadly.
