France will lobby the European Union for measures to re-balance trade with China based on environmental criteria as it sees an economic threat from a glut of Chinese products flooding the bloc’s market.
Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire will discuss options on Monday in Paris with German Economy Minister Robert Habeck and Italian Industry Minister Adolfo Urso. Later the same day, he will meet with China’s trade minister, Wang Wentao.
