"A lot of questions are there, and I guess there will be some amendments."
"myself and also some colleagues of mine have doubts about the deal."
"there is no security or predictability."
"You need to look at the alternative."
Doubts exist within the European Parliament's trade committee about aspects of the EU–U.S. trade agreement and amendments are expected during legislative approval. The agreement applies a 15% tariff on many European goods while reducing EU tariffs on U.S. cars and industrial goods to zero, with exemptions for items such as aircraft, cork and generic pharmaceuticals. Business groups warn of high costs and export impediments. A subsequent U.S. decision to place roughly 400 steel-containing goods under 50% tariffs undermines predictability. The agreement is recorded in a short joint statement and legal questions remain over U.S. tariff authority.
