On Monday, the EU Commission gave its answer to the Trump import duty threat.

“At this stage, we have not received an official notification of setting additional dedes on EU products. We do not respond to extensive notifications without details or written clarification, ”The Commission’s statement states.

The Commission emphasizes that the EU sees no justification for setting customs, but is ready to react to them if necessary.

“We react to protect the interests of European companies, employees and consumers from unjustified measures.”

The Commission emphasizes that the setting of customs duties would be “illegal and economically harmful”, especially considering deeply integrated production chains, which the EU and the United States have through transatlantic trade and investments.

The Commission also points out that duties are basically taxes that citizens suffer.

“By setting duties, the United States would tax their own citizens, increase business costs and accelerate inflation. In addition, duties increase economic uncertainty and interfere with the efficiency and integration of the global market, ”the Commission’s statement states.
