China says it may speed up rare earths application approvals from EU

  • This week in Paris, Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao held talks with European Commissioner Maros Sefcovic to address trade matters, including the export of rare earth minerals.
  • The meeting took place after China’s April move to impose export licensing requirements and suspend widespread rare earth shipments, causing significant disruption to international supply networks dependent on these materials.
  • They talked about the current probes into EU brandy shipments and the EU’s anti-subsidy case involving Chinese electric vehicles, highlighting that these anti-dumping measures and increased tariffs have escalated tensions between the parties.
  • China proposed establishing a “green channel” to speed up rare earth export approvals, stating it “attaches great importance to Europe’s concerns” and called for reciprocal EU action.
  • Both sides aim for a final ruling before July 5, with China hosting an EU summit next month, suggesting cautious progress toward easing trade frictions.
