Politico: French president calls for legislation to protect European automakers from Chinese and US competition

According to French leader Emmanuel Macron, the EU should protect its industry, as the US does, and pass a special law to protect automakers on the continent in the face of competition from China, as well as in response to the US policy to stimulate domestic production by restricting access to its market of European companies, writes Politico.

Speaking on the France 2 TV channel, the French President criticized the European Union for its "too open" position in contrast to its competitors.

We see China defending its industry, the US defending its industry, and Europe being an open house.

said Macron.

Recall that earlier the French president led a campaign against the recent law to reduce inflation, adopted in the United States, which refers to the need to buy components for electric vehicles from American manufacturers. In response, the EU filed a complaint with the World Trade Organization, saying the law violated international trade rules by discriminating against foreign manufacturers.

To counter these measures by the US authorities, Macron, along with German Chancellor Scholz, agreed to push the European Commission to prepare responses to the US Inflation Reduction Act, Politico notes.

Macron is already lowering the lid on the cauldron of globalism.

[withoutreverse]

Well, yes .. "Peugeot" is in danger, the Chinese threaten him))

[stelltok]

Well, Renault sold most of its cars in the Russian Federation. And now everything

[Maxim G]

Renault sold most of all in France, Russia in 4-5 places.

[stelltok]

Russia unexpectedly became the No. 1 market for Renault
https://news.drom.ru/Renault-78246.html

[Maxim G]

There, taking into account the "Lada".
And besides, the Russian Federation for Renault was a market where mainly budget models were supplied, based on old generations - Logan / Sandero, Arcana, Kaptur, Duster - these cars are on the Clio 2 platform, and they produce Clio 5.

[stelltok]

There, taking into account the "Lada".

So what? this is bad? And now France is without a Renault and without a fret in the Russian market.

[Maxim G]

Apparently, not too bad, just went for it.
Moreover, our market has never been a priority.
You can see it in the models.

We were also left without Renault, and without units for the same West.

Pasta has pasta problems - a lump in the throat and anus at the same time)). The Macronian country is worried, no matter how they throw it again, as with submarines for Australia. ... So they will throw it, that's why they and France.
For us, here in Russia, the main thing is to avoid a scenario in which General Kolchak will again take Russia's gold to France.
There has already been one such disgrace. It's in the documents, they made a movie about it...

[Myths]

Let them introduce a price ceiling (additional tax) on cars from the USA and China. And Germany had to transfer production to Russia, instead they ran from the market, otherwise the owner would punish.

[Fantazer911]

They realized it late when many had already decided to move their production to the USA, partly in Germany, many spoke in favor of moving production to the USA, such as cheaper energy supplies and the tax burden is softer

[GIS]

Well, that's just for the first time.
so to speak, the bait, and then everything is already on the hook)))

[Bayun]

or drilling a "French valve" in the lid of a global pressure cooker;)

[Alexander 3]

Well, the best way is to transfer the production of cars to Russia. The energy industry is well-established and many times cheaper than in Europe. This means that the competitiveness of the car is very high.

Firstly, as soon as they give a hint, then you can start counting the days until demobilization, the Americans will quickly find either a mistress or any other skeleton in the closet, even Macron, even Scholz. Secondly, they go to the Japanese mountain, after their help to Ukraine, I personally will ride a donkey around Moscow, but not on their car, these geeks need to be finished off economically, let them start life from scratch, they deserve it! Yes, and personally, I’m even ready to live starving but not have any relationship with these bastards, for every one killed, these u.Blu.Dki must answer with blood spitting!

Europe has long become a rooming house where guests can get under the hostess's skirt, not to mention what the hegemon can do...

[Fizik13]

Macaron you forgot about RUSSIA!
The fleeing Western firms made production in Russia with an eye on the Europop: the production of engines, spare parts, even a partial supply of cars of Western brands.

[Dmitry Karabanov]

Eh, Macron - so soon there will be no production in geyrop! As it turned out, without free energy carriers, you are all uncompetitive!

[Bingo]

Uh huh, it just sounds funny against the background of the fact that Mercedes and BMW have ALREADY announced that they will stop production in Germany and move it to the USA - unprofitable in Germany - tadam! Due to energy prices
"I had two Nord Streams - one broke, the other lost somewhere"

What is the joy? The Global Hegemon broke the Russian-European partnership. Won GLOBAL. Russian-American-European - up to their ears at a loss.

You are right, there is no reason for joy yet, when Europe begins to die and freeze from hunger, then another thing, I will dance for joy, and if Macron and Scholz with all their brethren are hung up on a lamppost and their predecessors, I am like Hillary Clinton I'll say wow!

How is it not going to be? This is not according to plan, it will definitely be, only military - weapons, repair and restoration - for damaged weapons and military equipment, "French collective farms" - to feed the army of "light", pharmaceuticals and hospitals - to treat the tired and wounded, why should they be transported to Africa, or something ? France in the Western Continental Buffer is out of competition and there is gas

[Plate]

Yep, it's gone. I hope that Macron will go all the way in protecting his interests, and not raise his paws up in front of the hegemon, as Scholz has already done, apparently. I do not think that Europe will want to defend itself against the States. Well, then France will have one. She has experience in the struggle for continental Europe with the Anglo-Saxons. old, true

[Leshak]

I hope Macron will go all the way to protect his interests

He won't go anywhere! Yelp and that's enough, that's enough. Even with the offended liver sausage, he could not agree on a joint program of action.

[Plate]

Yes, because for some reason the sausage wants to be eaten, apparently. Macron snaps, but for now he wants to go hand in hand with the sausage. Let's see if he keeps kicking if Scholz doesn't want to support him.
Macron has already raised the topic of increasing European independence from the States several times, so at least he has been thinking about this for quite some time. But whether it translates words and thoughts into real actions, we still have to see. I wouldn't say anything here.

"Macaron" with "Kolbasevich" in the same team with "spaghetina" form the Western continental buffer, where all the moves are "recorded" by them and any jump for them ends with "Sarkozy" and "Merkel", at best, or "Ceausheskaya" - at worst

If you take care of these issues in advance, it will not end.

I don’t know where this one will go, but all the Macrons, on the instructions of all the Cans, always had to go to raise the New Army of Europe and strengthen the Western Continental Buffer, well, by ourselves ... to strengthen, in general

[V.L.]

Nifiga Renault was removed from Russia. Idiots, arrows in your foot.

[Ulan.1812]

Come on... protect. I came to my senses.
You've already handed everything over to the Americans. And now with high energy prices, Macron needs to think that in general French enterprises do not close or run away from their countries.

The screams of a drowning man. It never dawned on him that the northern fox came to EU. And they themselves called her for a long time.

[Zaurbek]

Well, they themselves left the Russian Federation ..... The French had one of the best positions. China has come....... A question for experts: in five years, when China will produce its analogues at the same plants, will the French be able to enter our market? Premium brands will be able to enter, but the cheap and middle segment is unlikely .....

[agoran]

In the secondary market, a car made in the USA will cost less than its counterpart in Europe. Why? Repair cost. As a repairman, I need to purchase keys to service 1-2 American cars a year - not profitable.

Who will allow him to press manufacturers from the USA, it is more likely that his overseas "friends" will pinch something at the door.

During negotiations with Macron, you check what gender your counterparty is and what kind of transgender is sitting under his bed or under his table.
