Script:

European car manufacturers can breathe a sigh of relief: a 15 percent tariffs on everything they export to the US. 

Thats less than the over 27 percent that was added in recent months.   

Yet, a 15 percent levy will cost manufacturers billions of euros each year, according to industry analysts. Some say the deal is painful.

“I think this is a glass half full, half empty. It is half full because there is this sense of relief and that the world's outcome is excluded, where the worst outcome could have been 30% tariffs or even a trade war. On the other side, this is not what the EU wanted. I mean, the EU asked for a zero-type trade agreement, and this is not what we had.”

In 2024, the EU exported nearly 532 billion euro worth of goods to the United States - and imported goods worth 333 billion euro. This resulted in a trade surplus of almost 200 billion euro.

Pharmaceutical products, vehicles, and machinery accounted for the lion's share of EU exports to the US.  

On the other hand, the US exported petroleum products, power-generating machinery, and gas to the EU, among other things.

For some industries, like the steel and aluminum sectors, the agreement does not provide relief.

This is because tariffs on E-U exports to the US will remain at 50 percent ... the rate previously imposed by Trump. 

The EU Commission now wants to try to negotiate quotas. France, among others, is critical...

+++SOT+++ Laurent Saint Martin, French Minister for Europe and Foreign Affairs, in charge of Foreign Trade:

Yes, the fact that we now have a form of stability with our American partners is welcome. Is this agreement balanced? No. To be very clear, this agreement is not balanced, and we will therefore need to continue working, particularly on the services side. In the end, this agreement mainly concerns goods, tariffs on goods, and manufactured products.

In addition, the EU has agreed to purchase 750 billion dollars worth of energy and invest an additional 600 billion dollars in the US. 

If investments flow overseas instead, it could cost many jobs in Europe.

((DEUTSCHE VERSION:

ANMOD 
Nach monatelangem Streit steht ein Zollldeal zwischen der EU und den USA , am Wochenende in Schottland zwischen US Präsident Trump und Eu Kommissionspräsidenten Ursula von der Leyen vereinbart. 
Damit ist die Zolleskalation zum 1. August erstmal vom Tisch. 
Einigung sieht für die Mehrheit der Importe einen BasisZollsatz von 15 Prozent vor. Hinzu kommen unter anderem Vereinbarungen für Investitionen und Energieimporte.

TEXT 
Die Autobauer können etwas aufatmen: 15 Prozent Zoll auf alles,  was sie in die USA exportieren. 
Das ist weniger als die mehr als 27 Prozent, die in den letzten Monaten draufkamen.   
Trotzdem werden die 15 Prozent Zölle die Hersteller jährlich Milliarden kosten, so der Branchenverband. Auch andere kritisieren den Deal als schmerzhaft .

2024 exportierte die EU Waren im Wert von fast 532  Milliarden Euro in die Vereinigten Staaten und importierte Waren im Wert von gut 333 Milliarden Euro. Das führte zu einem Handelsüberschuss von mehr als 198 Milliarden Euro.      
Den Löwenanteil der EU Exporte in die USA machten pharmazeutische Produkte, Fahrzeuge sowie Maschinen aus.  
Auf der anderen Seite exportierten die USA unter anderem Erdölprodukte, Anlagen und Gas in die EU.

Für andere Branchen wie die Stahl- und Aluminiumindustrie aber ist die Einigung eine schwere Bürde. 
Denn die Zölle für EU -Exporte in die USA bleiben demnach bei den hohen 50 Prozent, die schon zuvor von Trump verhängt wurden. 
Die EU Kommission will nun versuchen Quoten auszuhandeln. Unter anderem Frankreich kritisiert, das Abkommen gehe zu Lasten der EU.

Zudem sichert die EU zu, in den USA Energie im Wert von 750 Milliarden US-Dollar zu kaufen und zusätzlich 600 Milliarden US-Dollar in den USA zu investieren . 
Das könnte viele Arbeitsplätze in Europa kosten, wenn Investitionen stattdessen nach Übersee fliessen.
