This is the second package of measures proposed by the European Commission, which leads trade policy for 27 member states of the European Union. The package is designed in response to US Customs to Cars and Auto Parts and the basic customs rate currently 10 fasts.
However, US President Donald Trump is now threatening to the introduction of the basic customs duties of EU from 1. Augusta, which European officials consider unacceptable and warn that it would end normal trade between the two largest world markets.
The list, which was sent to the EU Member States and which Reuters had on the inspection on Tuesday, includes American imports worth 72 billion euros. It also includes electrical appliances and equipment for precision measurements, as well as agricultural and food products – various types of fruits and vegetables, and wine, beer and strong alcoholic beverages – total values 6.35 billion euros.
The first customs package to 21 billion euros of American goods was approved in April, but immediately suspended to leave space for negotiations. This suspension is extended until 6. Augusta.
EU officials stated that they still want to reach an agreement to avoid high customs input to introduce Trump, but the Member Commissioner said that the Members had agreed that the Union would have to take countermeasures if negotiations fail.
