The European Union and China have not reached an agreement in resolving their dispute over EV imports, according to a senior EU official.

In a briefing in Brussels, Sabine Weyand, the EU’s director general for trade said that despite 50 hours of discussions with Chinese counterparts, key issues such as structural concerns and price agreements remain unresolved.

This disagreement follows a year-long anti-subsidy investigation by the European Commission.

The EU has expressed concerns that these subsidies have boosted China’s presence in the EV market.

European officials fear that underpriced imports could harm sales of European-manufactured electric vehicles. The tariffs have further strained EU-China relations.
