Gill refused to provide details of the producers' price offer, saying only that any such offer would have to "adequately compensate" for the injury done to the EU domestic EV industry as a result of China's subsidisation of the sector and would have to be compliant with WTO rules, indicating that this was not the case and that the Commission would therefore continue its talks with China in order to find a solution to the dispute.
