STANDUP (English): LIU YUTIAN, Xinhua correspondent STORYLINE: The European Commission (EC) has unveiled its plan to levy provisional additional tariffs of up to 38.1 percent on Chinese-made electric vehicles (EVs).

The new measure from the Council strengthens European rules for heavy-duty vehicles -- those used for commercial transport, mass transit, and recreation -- with stricter emissions targets for five-year spans starting in 2030.
