The second meeting of the China‑EU Trade and Investment Consultations was held in Beijing; both sides reached a series of consensuses. The China Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export of Machinery and Electronic Products said it fully supports the outcomes and highlighted agreement in the auto sector. On hybrid vehicles, Beijing and Brussels reached an understanding on trade arrangements—negotiated on principles of mutual respect and equal consultation—that the chamber says accommodates industry concerns, provides a stable, predictable and sustainable trade framework, and reduces the risk of escalation while protecting Chinese firms’ interests. On electric vehicles, the parties reviewed the anti‑subsidy price‑commitment guidance and will continue to advance company price commitments and associated review procedures; the chamber called this outcome positive for Chinese exporters’ legal rights to the EU market.
