\n European industry is scrutinising the list of products drawn up by the European Commission in response to US tariffs on steel and aluminium, and not everyone is pleased.
\n ADVERTISEMENTEU tariffs on American products are adversely affecting EU manufacturers of wines, plastics and pulp among other sectors relying on imported products hit by tariffs or caught as collateral victims of the trade war between both sides of the Atlantic.The wines and spirits sector was among early casualties, hit\u00a0on Wednesday by the US President’s threat to impose 200% customs duties on imports in retaliation against EU tariffs on Bourbon whiskey.\u201cFor several months now, we have been proposing that the European Commission adopt a positive approach towards the United States, based on reciprocity, to safeguard bilateral trade in wines and spirits,\u201d Gabriel Picard, president of the French Federation of Wine and Spirits Exporters (FEVS) said, adding: \u201cBy including American wines and spirits in its retaliatory measures, we end up wondering whether the European Commission wants our industry to die.\u201dIn response to the 25% US tariffs on steel and aluminium, the European Commission on Wednesday presented retaliatory measures against a list of products imported from the US, ranging from soy beans and wood to Harley Davidson motorcycles and Bourbon whiskey.Wine and spirits representatives point out that they have already borne the brunt of EU trade wars, including the recent spat over electric vehicles with China, which saw the latter counter European tariffs with customs duties on European brandy.The European pulp and paper industry has also reacted after seeing imports of the products from the US on\u00a0the EU list. The EU imported \u20ac962 millions’ worth of pulp and \u20ac650 millions worth of paper and board from the US in 2023. In exchange European\u00a0exports of pulp and paper and board were worth \u20ac238 million and \u20ac2.4 billion respectively. The sector has no interest in a trade war with the Americans.Jori Ringman, Director General of the Confederation of European Paper Industries (Cepi) told Euronews that \u201cEU and US consumers who need basic hygiene products\u201d were going to be impacted as well as \u201ca whole range of sectors using paper packaging.\u201dThe trade association is scrutinising the reciprocal customs duties announced by the US President, which they fear the sector could fall victim to, and is readying to respond to the consultation launched by the European Commission on the list of American products targeted by European retaliation measures.The list of products presented on Wednesday is open to consultation by industry representatives until 26 March. It will then be submitted to EU member states, who will be able to object to it. The Commission is aiming for entry into force in mid-April.The plastics sector, targeted by European countermeasures, is also calling for peace. \u201cThe imposition of tariffs, particularly on industrial goods such as plastics, will disrupt supply chains, raise costs for businesses, and negatively impact consumers on both sides of the Atlantic,\u201d Virginia Janssens, Managing Director at Plastics Europe, said in a statement, calling for \u201cfree and fair trade\u201d between both sides of the Atlantic.In 2023, 11.7% of EU exports\u00a0of plastics went to the US\u00a0(valued at \u20ac3.4 billion) and 22.2% of\u00a0EU\u00a0imports\u00a0of plastics came from the US (valued at \u20ac5.3 billion).The medical devices industry is also concerned to see components used in its sector affected. \u201cWe respectfully urge the EU to ensure that medical technologies and their components are excluded from any retaliatory tariffs,\u201d Medtech Europe said in a statement, adding: \u201cEnsuring uninterrupted access to these essential products is crucial for maintaining patient care and supporting the resilience of healthcare systems across Europe.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
