Nevertheless, the US will retain higher tariffs on automobiles\u00a0and automotive parts, and this will continue to have a negative impact not just for industry in the EU but also in the US.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At this stage, many elements of the agreement still need to be clarified. ACEA will closely examine the details as they become available and assess the implications for Europe\u2019s vehicle manufacturing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking forward, the EU and the US should focus on reducing obstacles to vital transatlantic automotive trade, paving the way for stronger economic ties and shared prosperity.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t<blockquote
