What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

The European Union announced a safeguard measure capping the annual import of Chinese hybrid vehicles at 350,000 units, effective December 1. This limit will increase by 6% each year for four years. The cap applies to all hybrid imports, not just those from China, to comply with World Trade Organization rules. This action followed a high-level meeting in Beijing between Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao and European Commission officials.
