economic observer network guo rong/text in the past six days, chinese minister of commerce wang wentao traveled northward through the "heartland" of europe, from italy to germany, and arrived in brussels, the capital of belgium, on september 18 local time. he met with valdis dombrovskis, executive vice president and trade commissioner of the european commission, a day later. both sides clearly expressed their willingness to resolve differences through consultations and agreed to continue to promote negotiations on the price commitment agreement.

brussels is the headquarters of the european union. the european commission is responsible for implementing the eu treaties and decisions taken by the european council and, through its own initiative, proposing legal provisions, policy measures and projects.

bai ming, member of the academic degrees committee and researcher at the ministry of commerce research institute, told the economic observer that whether dombrovskis' statement means that the negotiations have entered a new stage still requires waiting for the eu to formally establish price commitments as the basis for negotiations.

since the eu launched an anti-subsidy investigation on chinese electric vehicles in october 2023 and the eu's temporary anti-subsidy tariffs on chinese electric vehicle imports came into effect on july 5, 2024, the most critical moment has come for resolving trade disputes through consultations and talks.
