Sefcovic: "The scale of China's export controls, scaled up since April, is unjustified and harmful." Sefcovic: "We agreed to intensify contacts at all levels...I invited the Chinese authorities to come to Brussels in the coming days, and they accepted the invitation." 

• Sefcovic: "The prompt resolution of rare earth restrictions is essential...This dramatic expansion of the export controls, as it was proposed by the Chinese authorities last week, is highlighting how negatively this could impact European industries."
• Sefocvic: "The EU is in contact with both sides to support a quick solution for Nexperia...Both sides intend to reduce tensions...[We are] aiming for solutions to restore global supply chains, [there is a ] focus on preventing production halts worldwide."
