The United States and the European Union on Thursday issued a joint statement that frames the ongoing deal between the trading partners and solidifies some trade commitments.

“This Framework Agreement will put our trade and investment relationship—one of the largest in the world—on a solid footing and will reinvigorate our economies’ reindustrialization,” the document reads.

In a 3.5-page joint statement, the two sides spelled out that 15 percent U.S. tariffs would apply to most EU imports and listed the commitments made, including the EU's pledge to eliminate tariffs on U.S. industrial goods and to give preferential market access for a wide range of U.S. seafood and agricultural goods.

Washington will take steps to reduce the current 27.5 percent U.S. tariffs on cars and car parts, a huge burden for European carmakers, once Brussels introduces the legislation needed to enact promised tariff cuts on U.S. goods, it said.

The statement said U.S. tariff relief on autos and auto parts would kick in on the first day of the month in which the EU introduced the legislation.

The joint statement noted that the U.S. agreed to apply only pre-existing Most Favored Nation (MFN) tariffs of below 15 percent from September 1 on EU aircraft and parts, generic pharmaceuticals and ingredients, chemical precursors, and unavailable natural resources, including cork.

This exemption did apply to include wine or spirits, a key EU demand, but the two sides agreed to consider other sectors and products for inclusions.

The agreement also covers $750 billion in energy purchases and $600 billion in EU investments by 2028. Both sides committed to address "unjustified digital trade barriers," the statement said, and the EU agreed not to adopt network usage fees.

They also agreed to negotiate rules of origin to ensure that the agreement's benefits accrued predominantly to both trading partners.

In addition, they said they would consider cooperation to ring-fence their respective steel and aluminum markets from overcapacity, while ensuring secure supply chains between each other, including through tariff quotas.

In July, President Donald Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen met briefly at Trump’s Turnberry golf course in Scotland and announced a sweeping trade deal that imposes 15 percent tariffs on most European goods, warding off Trump’s threat of a 30 percent rate if no deal had been reached by Aug. 1.
