“In view of these purposes, the Commission will take the necessary measures to suspend the EU counter -commission against the United States for six months, which had to come into force on August 7,” he added.
Gill said that the corresponding European Commission’s decision on counter -tariffs is expected on Tuesday.
It is known that the EU has prepared a response to US potential tariffs, which provides measures worth 93 billion euros against US imports. The measures should be implemented gradually since August 7.
But at the end of July, the European Union and the United States concluded a political agreement, which provides for securing tariffs for European imports to the states at 15%.
This was the result of many months of negotiations against the backdrop of threats from the United States to set duties on European goods in the amount of 30% from August 1, while the EU hoped to maintain the main rate of tariffs at 10%.
