on september 16, minister of commerce wang wentao met with italian deputy prime minister and minister of foreign affairs and international cooperation tajani in rome. the two sides exchanged views in depth and frankly on topics such as the eu's anti-subsidy investigation on chinese electric vehicles and cooperation with small and medium-sized enterprises. chinese ambassador to italy jia guide attended the meeting.
wang wentao pointed out that the eu's anti-subsidy investigation on chinese electric vehicles is a major issue currently affecting china-eu economic and trade cooperation. we regret to learn that the european commission hastily and quickly rejected the package proposed by china and did not show the political will to properly resolve the issue through consultation. this case affects china-eu and china-italy trade and investment cooperation, and has severely hit the confidence of chinese companies in developing the european market. it is hoped that the european commission will respond to the calls of all parties and properly resolve china-eu economic and trade differences through dialogue and consultation based on the consensus reached by the leaders of china and europe.
tajani said, "i recently spoke with european commission executive vice president valdis dombrovskis and asked the european commission to handle this case strictly in accordance with wto rules and relevant eu laws and regulations to avoid disrupting china-eu economic and trade cooperation. the italian government hopes that the eu and china can reach a solution through dialogue and consultation, and welcomes chinese auto companies to choose to invest in italy."
both sides positively evaluated the bilateral economic and trade relations and agreed to jointly implement the economic and trade consensus reached recently by the leaders of the two countries.
