Sixty per cent of Swedish auto retail dealers are willing to sell low-price mini-cars made in China, according to Xinhua quoting the Swedish "Dagens Nyheter'' (Daily News) in Stockholm on July 2 as saying.

European Union member countries can have a free choice to import sedan car brands and models since the EU's cancellation of car import brand restrictions, quoted the newspaper from a recent market survey released by a Swedish auto consultancy company. In Sweden, most of the auto retail dealers are interested in the sales of China-manufactured cars with prices below 50,000 Swedish Kronor (6,400 US dollars), and 65 per cent of the dealers has started to plan the imports of new brand China-made cars.

First of all, Chinese autos should come up to the EU stipulations in terms of safety and environment protection performances when entering the EU market. However, many of Chinese cars cannot fully reach the standards. Nevertheless, that will not be a problem, said a EU official in charge of the survey. He said auto manufacturers in China have enough time to learn from advanced technologies and experiences abroad. Especially the auto producers in the United States, Europe and Japan have set up plants in China, which is beneficial for China to improving its technologies as soon as possible.
