BRUSSELS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 30th August, 2018) The EU Commission is still preparing a list of possible retaliatory measures in case if the United States would introduce new duties on the import of cars from the European Union, EU Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said Thursday.
Malmstrom said the commission was preparing the respond if tariffs for cars and auto parts were introduced.
On Tuesday, EU Commission Spokesperson for Trade and Agriculture Daniel Rosario said that the European Union was ready to counter any additional US tariffs on EU goods in the light of the US President Donald Trump's earlier statement that he would put a 25% tariff on cars from the European Union.
In July, President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker and Trump held a meeting to discuss trade relations between the two sides agreeing, among other things, to avoid any new� tariffs while negotiating future arrangements for trans-Atlantic trade.
