World markets are flooded with cheaper Chinese electric cars, the Commission President told the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday.

An anti-subsidy investigation could lead, for example, to the imposition of punitive tariffs. Measures are currently being taken in many economic sectors in order to reduce the EU’s dependence on countries such as China and protect domestic companies.

In March, the EU Commission presented a legislative proposal on raw material supply. This is to ensure that the EU does not remain dependent on imports from individual countries, such as China, for important raw materials.

Von der Leyen said Europe was open to competition but not an unequal race to the bottom. “We must defend ourselves against unfair practices.”

He also emphasized that it is important to continue the dialogue with China. There are issues we need to work on together. At the EU-China summit planned to be held this year, a stance will be taken that risks should be minimized but not isolated.
