BNIC’s reaction to the European vote on Chinese electric vehicles
A European vote has just confirmed the application of taxes on Chinese electric vehicles, reinforcing the imminent threat of surtax on Cognac exports to China.
Once again, we note that our requests to postpone the vote and for a negotiated solution have been ignored. The French authorities have abandoned us. We do not understand why our sector is being sacrificed in this way.
Nevertheless, we hope that common sense will prevail. Dialogue must continue to reach a negotiated solution that would prevent our products from facing a surtax that could exclude them from the Chinese market.
