France and Germany push EU rapid-response trade tool targeting China

Original: France, Germany push for EU rapid-response trade tool with likely focus on China

France and Germany are jointly pushing for the European Union to adopt a rapid-response trade instrument, widely expected to be aimed at China. The tool would let Brussels act quickly against economic coercion or unfair trade practices without lengthy consensus procedures. The joint Franco-German initiative carries significant weight in EU policy, and attention is now on whether other member states back the plan.

Why now: France and Germany jointly proposing a new EU trade defence mechanism with China as the likely target is a significant development in EU trade policy.
