TL;DR Summary

The EU will broaden its use of trade defence tools by deploying import quotas and tariffs more systematically across whole sectors, such as chemicals, metals, and clean‑tech, to counter perceived unfair Chinese competition. The goal is a real rebalancing rather than breaking with China, but the blunt measures could affect all trading partners; discussions at a Friday meeting may include a proposed resilience tool to curb supplier concentration and a push to diversify European supply chains.
