Tariffs for services more difficult to apply / day

The situation on the tariff front changes almost every day. In response to the US three -month tariff break (tariffs announced in April), the European Union (EU) did the same. On Monday, April 14, the European Commission adopted both the laws and regulations on countermeasures and at the same time postponed the time of the resolution of these measures until mid -July. True, these European tariffs apply to the US tariffs announced in February for steel and aluminum, preferring the talks between the two trading partners to the European Commission. But it is important that all these tariffs apply to goods, not services. The European Commission has a trade bazauka, as named Politicoor anti -pressing tool (Anti-current instrument) to target US technology giants. This may include tariffs, restrictions on services, and restrictions on intellectual property rights.

« The EU proposed 25% anti -art to the US, but also wants to continue negotiations to limit the expansion of the confrontation. The EU strategy is to protect the internal market and, at the same time, diversify trade relations with the rest of the world and avoid trade disabilities. The EU intended to tax American technology giants if the tariff talks with US President Donald’s Insabalism must be seen in conjunction with trade in goods, « points out SEB banks Economist Dainis Gashpuitis.
