German industry shifts stance, backs EU protection against China
Published 1 d ago1 sourceEvidence: Reported
France and Germany are pushing Norway to implement EU punitive tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, despite Norway not being an EU member. This could force Norway to choose between its close trade ties with the EU and its independent trade policy, potentially affecting EV market dynamics in Europe.

Germany and France have bilaterally agreed to a compromise on EU auto policy, trading a longer combustion engine phase-out for stricter 'Made in Europe' local-content rules. This agreement, while intended to bolster the European auto industry against Chinese competition, risks undermining competitiveness by delaying the EV transition and increasing production costs. The full details and EU-wide policy impact remain uncertain.
