european commission
On October 4, the government began an “anti-subsidy investigation with a view to imposing countervailing duties” on Chinese-made EVs.
Anti-subsidy investigation launched:
Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the implementation in her State of the Union address in September.
A notice of commencement regarding the Commission’s claims and investigation procedures was published in the EU Official Journal.
Published in the EU Official Journal:
Is China’s BEV value chain benefiting from illegal market-distorting subsidies?
Will this hurt EU manufacturers?
Determining the imposition of countervailing duty measures:
If confirmation is obtained on both sides, countervailing duty measures will be implemented.
However, the impact on the EU internal market due to the imposition of countervailing duties on target products will be evaluated.
Investigation period:
The research period is a maximum of 13 months.
If legally justified, the EU can temporarily impose countervailing duty measures within nine months.
The final measures will be implemented within four months of the provisional measures being implemented.

France’s strong will
The decision was strongly influenced by France’s desire to “compete with the rapid growth of China’s EV industry.”
However, he is concerned that “Germany may take retaliatory measures.”
European Automotive Parts Industry Association (CLEPA)
Executive Director Benjamin Krieger
On September 29th, the parts industry received the announcement that an investigation would be conducted with surprise.
The European Commission’s concerns are valid. They feared retaliatory measures from China and the impact on the parts industry.
It placed a “question mark on the effectiveness of countervailing duty measures.”

EU: Investigation begins on Chinese-made EVs over dumping suspicions
-Many aspects from subsidies to tax system-
We bring you a summary from Hisashi Katsumata’s World View.
EU official gazette:
“It alleges that Chinese manufacturers are benefiting from subsidies and that EU industry is suffering damage.”
Specifically, subsidies, preferential loans from state-owned banks, tax reductions, tax refunds, and tax exemptions are being provided.
China provides raw materials and parts at prices below appropriate levels.
The official gazette pointed out the above.
Support items from Chinese local governments:
① Provide subsidies for factory construction.
② Preferential interest rates will be applied to borrowed funds.
③ Provide tax reductions, tax refunds, and tax exemptions.
(4) The country provides goods and services, such as raw materials and parts, at prices below appropriate levels.
Actual situation of local governments in China:
They provide the ultimate “service” of “carrying you on your back”.
Once all these facts are revealed, Chinese-made EVs will be subject to complete scrutiny in the global market.
Response from the Chinese Ministry of Commerce:
The EU will begin an investigation focusing on the items mentioned above.
Based on this premise, China has no choice but to refrain from making conventional threatening statements.
This is because things will become irreversible later on.
