欧盟对美作出重大贸易让步：拟本周快速立法取消所有工业品关税

Group 1 - The EU plans to seek rapid legislative approval to eliminate all import tariffs on U.S. industrial goods, a condition set by President Trump for reducing tariffs on EU car exports [1][6] - The EU will also offer preferential tariff rates on certain seafood and agricultural products, acknowledging that the trade arrangement favors the U.S. but is necessary for providing stability and certainty for businesses [1] - The EU Commission President referred to the agreement as a "strong (if not perfect) deal" [1] Group 2 - Currently, EU cars and parts face a 27.5% tariff when exported to the U.S. Although a trade agreement has been reached to reduce U.S. tariffs on nearly all European products to 15%, Trump stated that this rate would not apply to cars unless industrial tariffs are legislatively removed [6] - If the EU proposes legislation by the end of the month, the 15% tariff on European cars will be retroactive to August 1 [6] - Cars are a significant export product for the EU to the U.S., with Germany exporting $34.9 billion worth of new cars and parts to the U.S. in 2024 [6] - To expedite the process, the EU Commission will skip the usual impact assessment for the proposal [6]
