Former Director of the Economic Development Bureau of the Geneva-Berne Greater Region in Switzerland, economist Philippe Monnier, recently stated in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the European Union's imposition of tariffs on electric cars imported from China will have many negative effects, not only harming European consumers' interests, but also unfavorable for the development of the electric car industry in Europe, calling it an unwise move. On the 4th, the European Commission announced that the proposal to impose tariffs on electric cars imported from China has received necessary support from member countries. The decision, once announced, faced opposition from various parties in Europe. (Xinhua News Agency)
