What you need to know about China's widening probe of EU imports
Adds detail
By Joe Cash and Mei Mei Chu
BEIJING, Aug 22 (Reuters) -China has widened its investigation into imported EU products, adding an anti-subsidy probe of cheese, milk and cream to anti-dumping checks on pork and brandy.
Beijing announced the move on Wednesday, a day after the EU published a revised tariff plan for China-made electric vehicles (EVs).
Here are the main issues:
WHY IS CHINA TAKING ACTION?
Beijing is assessing whether EU dairy imports are benefiting from subsidies. Its probe comes as the EU evaluates a plan to impose tariffs of up to 36.3% on imported Chinese-made EVs subject to a vote in October.
France, Italy and Spain backed the proposed tariffs in July, while Germany, Finland and Sweden abstained, government sources have said.
WHAT COUNTRIES ARE MOST AT RISK?
France stands to be worst affected as it exported $211 million worth of the targeted dairy products last year, Chinese customs data showed, mostly milk and cream.
Italian, Danish, Dutch and Spanish farmers last year sold dairy goods subject to China's new probe worth $65 million, $55 million, $52 million and $49 million, respectively, the data showed.
EU exports of milk powder to China, worth $357 million last year, are not subject to investigation.
France also supplied 99% of China's imported brandy last year as well as some of its pork, making it the most impacted country if Beijing acts on each of the investigations.
Paris has repeatedly voiced concerns about the surge in Chinese EVs into the European market and taken measures domestically to ensure that French subsidies for buying EVs do not benefit vehicles made in China.
Major pork exporters Denmark, the Netherlands and Spain are also under pressure from Beijing's probes.
WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN?
An anti-dumping investigation into imported European large-engine gasoline cars could be on the cards, according to the state-owned Global Times, which first reported that Beijing was considering the probes.
Such an investigation would hit Germany hardest. Its exports of vehicles with engines of 2.5 litres or larger to China were worth $1.2 billion last year, Chinese customs data shows.
