EU countries are ready to impose a response 25 % tax on US exports of 2.8 billion euros

Investing.com – The EU countries supported the response plan to the actions of the United States, which from June 1 introduced duties on the import of steel and aluminum from the EU in the amount of 25% and 10% respectively.

Representatives of the EU member states at a meeting in Brussels on Thursday agreed to impose a 25 percent duty on the goods of American exports totaling 2.8 billion euros, reports Bloomberg.

Among the goods that will be subject to a new duty are motorcycles Harley Davidson, jeans Levi Strauss and bourbon.

In general, the list of products includes several dozen items, including agricultural products (corn, rice, cranberries), food products (orange juice, peanut butter and tobacco products), cosmetics, clothing, metallurgical products, boats, yachts, and so on.

The entry into force of the decision on the introduction of the response fees requires the approval of the European Commission. The EC plans to approve the decision in the coming days, and it is expected that it will enter into force on June 20.

The European Commission said earlier that it intends to respond by proportional measures to the announced US introduction of duties on imports of steel and aluminum from the EU. In addition, the regulator filed a lawsuit on June 1 with the World Trade Organization (WTO) regarding US actions.
