Brussels proposes a 10 % tariff mass and another from 25 % for US imports
the European Commission I suggest this Monday to apply Mass duty 10 % and another 25 % To the imports of American products in European Union. It is the twentieth response to the 25 % trade rates for steel and aluminum imposed by the US President last week. Donald Trump. On Wednesday, member states are expected to rule on this first response to the additional fees announced by Washington, despite the ban on European definitions, the qualified majority of capitals will be pronounced in exchange for the procedure.
The document, which was distinguished by the EFE agency, is among the products that the European Union will begin in implementing the customs tariff from April 15 -member states are validated by the suggested list by the executive community -and the products that will be imposed on them as of May 16.
The first group corresponds to the products that the European Union has already achieved in the 2018 commercial crisis, however It has come out, for example, whiskey BourbonWhich was previously punished. Somehow, what the Federation officially does with this first group is not to extend the suspension of the definitions that it responded to for years in the first commercial war of Trump. Within this diverse list, for example, sweet corn or rice, cigars, cigarettes, essential oils, shoes, different types of furniture, safety glass or optics.
Brussels finally drew Bourbon, although he was in the original document prepared in March. The CEO of the community follows the requests of some capitals, which requested the withdrawal of this whiskey after Trump threatened to impose a 200 % tariff on wine and other European alcoholic drinks if it was finally included in the community list.
Second, the European Commission raises another extensive list of American products that will have to pay a tariff up to 25 % as of May 16 To comply with the communication times developed by the World Trade Organization (the World Trade Organization). These goods range from minerals and copper concentrations, through very specific elements used in building civil engineering, such as baked bars, certain pipes of mineral tubes or tablo, to chickens, and different types of bird meat or coffee. These are just some examples on a wide list.
Finally, the European Union leaves December 1 The start of a very short list of five different products of almonds and soybeans.
The first answer
However, this first round of the European club’s revenge only responds to the 25 % definitions that the United States applies to imports from Steel and aluminum Coming from the European Union since mid -March.
The twenty -seven political discussion maintained Monday at the level of trade ministers on other counter -attack tours to respond to the definitions described by the Trump administration as “mutual”.
Favorite method by the European Union Negotiation with Washington In this logic, the European offer to eliminate all the customs tariffs on the trade of industrial goods is framed, but from the European capital, they are insisted that they follow “all options on the table” if the United States government is still closed for dialogue.
