德国汽车工业协会VDA常务董事周四（4月11日）表示，对中国电动汽车展开反补贴调查的决定与柏林方面没有充分协调，并批评冯德莱恩的单独行动。

欧盟委员会主席乌苏拉·冯德莱恩在 2023 年 9 月的国情咨文演讲中宣布对中国电动汽车 (EV) 制造商进行反补贴调查，这可能导致对中国电动汽车进口征收新的关税。

德国汽车行业从一开始就对调查持怀疑态度，因为担心全球最大汽车市场中国可能对其产品采取报复措施。

德国汽车工业协会 VDA 常务董事安德烈亚斯·拉德 (Andreas Rade) 现在也批评该程序与欧盟各国首都协调不充分。

拉德周四在绿色组织的一次活动中表示：“据我所知，这个程序可以说不是柏林和巴黎之间的联合项目，而是由布鲁塞尔在候选资格背景下发起的。” 在德国议会。

他补充道，“我认为，这就是为什么欧洲层面没有就程序达成共识，这不是一个好的信号。”

就在调查正式宣布前一周，德国总理奥拉夫·肖尔茨 (SPD/S&D) 大声欢迎中国制造商进入欧洲市场，认为“公平竞争……符合消费者的利益”。

The decision to open an anti-subsidy investigation against Chinese electric cars was not sufficiently coordinated with Berlin, a managing director of the German car industry association VDA said on Thursday (11 April), criticising von der Leyen’s solo effort.

During her ‘State of the Union’ speech in September 2023, EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced an anti-subsidy investigation into Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturers, which could lead to new tariffs on Chinese EV imports.

The German car industry has met the investigation with scepticism from the outset, as it fears potential retaliation measures against its products by China, which is the world’s largest car market.

Andreas Rade, managing director of the German Automotive Industry Association VDA, has now also criticised the procedure for not coordinating sufficiently with EU capitals.

“As far as I know, this procedure was not a joint project between Berlin and Paris, so to speak, but was initiated by Brussels in the meantime in the context of a candidature,” Rade said on Thursday at an event of the Green group in the German parliament.

He added, “That is why there was no consensus on the procedure at the European level, I believe, which is not a good signal.”

Only a week before the investigation’s official announcement, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD/S&D) had loudly welcomed Chinese manufacturers to the European market, arguing that “fair competition […] is in the interest of consumers.”
