Britain has no plans for EU-style tariffs on Chinese EVs
LONDON - Britain does not plan to follow the European Union in imposing tariffs on imports of electric vehicles from China as UK businesses have not raised a complaint to be investigated, British trade minister Jonathan Reynolds said on Monday.
Reynolds said there had not been any complaints from local industry to Britain's Trade Remedies Authority , and indicated he would not seek to follow the bloc in pursuing tariffs, adding his"primary concern" was thriving and open export markets for British producers. Reynolds said he didn't believe that relations with China were in any sort of golden era - as the government a decade ago had lauded - but said Britain was an outlier in how little it had done to build trade links with China, and engagement was a good thing.
"We've got a new round of talks with the Gulf Co-operation Council very soon, maybe as soon as next week. And similarly with India, that's a priority as well," he said, declining to put a deadline on trade talks.
