Un dossier "complexe": la Chine prolonge son enquête sur les importations de produits laitiers européens https://t.co/ImhhmuTEFv https://t.co/JiKLrvJag7
China’s Ministry of Commerce said it has prolonged its anti-subsidy investigation into European Union dairy imports by six months, pushing the deadline to 21 February 2026. The probe, which covers selected cheese, milk and cream products, was opened on 21 August 2024 and has been extended “given the complexity of the case,” the ministry said in a statement on Monday. The move highlights persistent trade frictions between Beijing and Brussels. In June, China extended a separate inquiry into EU pork and in July imposed duties on EU brandy, while Brussels continues to weigh tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles. “These investigations are significant bargaining chips in negotiations around the EU’s tariffs on Chinese new-energy vehicles,” said Even Rogers Pay, agriculture analyst at Beijing-based Trivium China.
