Brussels, Belgium — The European Commission vowed Thursday to stand up for Europe’s dairy sector, a day after it was targeted in the latest anti-subsidy investigation by Beijing.
The Chinese probe, announced after the EU confirmed its plan for hefty five-year tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, covers a range of items from fresh cheese and curd to blue cheese, including some milk and cream.
“The commission will firmly defend the interests of our dairy industry and of our Common Agricultural Policy,” spokesman Olof Gil told reporters, promising “all necessary actions to ensure that this investigation fully complies with all relevant World Trade Organization rules.
