The German government will likely abstain in the internal EU vote on provisional tariffs on electric cars from China. According to the Reuters news agency, citing an insider, the German government will submit its position on the introduction of provisional countervailing duties by the deadline on Monday. The German position has not yet been finalized. However, it will abstain because the anti-subsidy investigation continues and negotiations between the EU Commission and the Chinese government are ongoing, the sources said. They declined to be named because the decision is confidential.
