China will impose provisional duties of up to 42.7% on certain dairy products imported from the European Union, Chinese authorities announced on 22 December 2025. The measure is presented as a reaction to an anti-subsidy investigation launched by the European Commission more than a year ago, which covered dairy exporters in several EU member states, including the Czech Republic.
The provisional duties apply to selected categories of dairy imports from the EU, with the maximum rate reported at 42.7%. Beijing framed the tariffs as temporary countermeasures while related investigations proceed. The initial notice did not list all product lines or give a definitive duration for the measures.
The announcement may affect EU dairy exporters and bilateral trade flows, particularly in countries named in the EU inquiry. Additional details from Chinese and EU authorities are expected as the situation develops. #China #EU #dairy #CzechRepublic #FiatNews

On 16 December the European Commission unveiled a new "Automotive Package" intended to support the transition to clean mobility while preserving the competitiveness of the European automotive industry. The announcement positions the package as a policy response aimed at balancing decarbonisation goals with industrial concerns.
The Commission presented the initiative as a coordinated effort to guide the sectorβs shift toward lowβemission transport without unduly harming manufacturersβ ability to compete. Details on specific measures, timelines or impact assessments were not provided in the summary notice.
Observers note the key question is whether the package will deliver a more flexible pathway to clean mobility in practice; that assessment will depend on the concrete proposals, implementation rules and support for industry and infrastructure that the Commission publishes next. #EU #Automotive #CleanMobility #FiatNews
