BRUSSELS — Brussels and Beijing will discuss China’s recent restrictions on exports of rare earths and magnets next week, the European Commission said Friday.
“We can confirm that both in-person and virtual high-level technical meetings will take place next week,” trade spokesperson Olof Gill told reporters. The talks will not include Commissioner for Trade and Economic Security Maroš Šefčovič or his Chinese counterpart Wang Wentao just yet.
“Teams will engage under the Export Control Dialogue, which was upgraded after EU-China summit in July,” Gill added. It is unclear if restrictions on chips will also be discussed.
