More like the owners of German car manufacturers. And they don’t even care if it’s EU-made vehicles that are sold. They care about growing profit by any means. For example they lobby against Chinese EV tariffs because they don’t want their own Chinese-made cars or Chinese-made components to get more expensive, reducing their profits; or China restricting their profitability in China. A move obviously hurting EU auto workers. It doesn’t matter where and how the profit is made, they will lobby for it, regardless of the German or EU people’s interests.
Because the Germans will stop at nothing to sell their fucking cars, and that’s the main driving force behind European diplomacy.
Whatever
