The EU makes a new rule. Next year only 350.000 hybrid cars come from China. This is a low number. China now sells 800.000 cars to Europe. The rule lasts for 4 years. The number grows by 6 percent each year. Then the rule ends.
Hybrid cars have two engines. One engine uses gas. The other engine uses power. People in Europe like these cars. Chinese cars are very cheap. The EU wants to help local firms. German car makers get less stress. China sold more hybrid cars before. The EU put special taxes on pure power cars.
Maroš Šefčovič signs the paper. He talks with Wang Wentao in Peking. China agrees to the rule. The World Trade Organization likes the plan. Border workers check the cars. No more cars enter after 350.000 cars.
