近日，歐盟成員國代表投票通過歐盟委員會提交的歐盟電動汽車反補貼案終裁草案，擬對原產于中國的電動汽車征收最終反補貼稅。針對這一動向，澳大利亞中國工商業委員會董事會前成員、絲綢之路國際商會澳大利亞代表戴若·顧比(Daryl Guppy)在接受中新網采訪時指出，歐盟對中國電動車征收關稅的做法不僅剝奪了歐洲消費者的選擇，還可能影響歐盟綠色經濟目標的實現。

　　顧比認為，隨著發展綠色經濟的需求在歐洲選舉中的重要性不斷提升，提高關稅的舉措并不會受到選民廣泛歡迎。

　　European Union members voted to impose tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs). Daryl Guppy, former national board member of the Australia China Business Council and Australian representative of the Silk Road International Chamber of Commerce, noted that these tariffs take away European consumers' choice to buy EVs at a variety of price levels, and will also impact on the achievement or the ability to achieve green economy goals.

　　In terms of China’s response, Guppy raised the case of Japanese carmakers responding to U.S. tariffs in 1980s, noting that making cars “still attractive even at the higher price created by tariffs” might be a way out for Chinese carmakers. (Chen Tianhao)
