MOFCOM BJT
Q: How will the China-EU understanding on hybrid vehicle trade be implemented? Will China accept an arrangement for automobile export licensing to control export volumes to the EU? Who will decide the proportion of the quota allocated to specific Chinese brands? Some economists believe that this agreement is in effect “picking winners” in the EU market. What is your comment on this? (MOFCOM Regular Press Conference October 15, 2026)
A: I have just responded to your question. Let me emphasize again that the understanding was reached by the two sides within the framework of WTO rules. As for specific details, China and the EU will maintain communication. China will also listen to the views of the industry in an open and transparent manner.
