Stellantis 'fine for June' on rare earth supplies, top manager says

TimesLIVE2 days ago

Stellantis is unaffected by supply bottlenecks for rare earths from China, but the carmaker had past difficulties in managing the situation, the head of its European operations said on Thursday.
China, which controls more than 90% of global processing capacity for rare earths used in everything from cars and fighter jets to home appliances, imposed restrictions in early April requiring exporters to obtain licences from Beijing.
This resulted in a squeeze of rare earth exports to Western manufacturers.
'We're all fine for June,' Stellantis' Jean-Philippe Imparato said during an automotive event in Turin, Italy.
'But let me tell you, we have spent tough hours' on managing the situation, he added, without elaborating.

Spain economy minister urges fair, balanced EU-US tariff deal

Spanish Economy Minister Carlos Cuerpo said a tariff pact between the EU and Washington should be "fair and balanced," although both sides remain far from a deal as a July deadline approaches. "There is still a long way to go to reach an agreement, but there remains the will to do so," Cuerpo told AFP in an interview on Thursday. His comments came on the sidelines of a trip to Houston, Texas, as he sought to reassure Spanish businesses rattled by US President Donald Trump's wide-ranging tariffs. Trump has slapped a 10 percent tariff on almost all trading partners including the European Union since returning to the presidency in January. He also threatened to impose heftier duties of 50 percent on the bloc, although pausing the higher rate until July 9. For now, Trump's existing tariffs, including 25 percent US duties on imported automobiles and 50 percent levies on steel and aluminum, are affecting European companies, Cuerpo said. Pressure is mounting as July approaches. US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC this week that an EU deal will likely be among the last that Washington completes, even as he remained optimistic that both sides would reach this goal. Arriving at a deal by July 9 would be ideal as it signals "certainty and confidence," Cuerpo said. He maintained that things are "progressing," stressing that "there is unanimity among the 27 member states to reach a fair and balanced agreement." - No 'overreaction' - He added that while Europe has prepared a response package to Trump's tariffs, Brussels is holding off implementation so that it cannot be "interpreted as an escalation in this tariff conflict." It is critical that the EU gives a "very clear signal" that it wants to strike a deal with the Trump administration, he said. "The fundamental thing is to avoid any element of overreaction," he added. Besides the EU, higher US tariffs on goods from dozens of economies including Japan and India are also due to take effect in July. Trump has taken an especially harsh stance on China as Beijing pushed back on US levies, with both sides engaging in an escalating tariffs war that has only been temporarily rolled back. The Spanish minister expects Trump's tariffs to have limited effect on his country's economic growth this year, given its smaller exposure to the US market. But he warned that certain sectors like olive oil and wine are at higher risk as more of such exports head to the United States. In the interim, Cuerpo noted the importance too of the Mercosur agreement, a trade deal between the European Union and four South American nations including Brazil. Asked if a new global trade order is emerging, Cuerpo said: "This feeling is widely shared." "We are witnessing a rebalancing of these trade relations at the international level and what nobody knows is what's the new point we will reach," he added. By Moisés Ávila

Google rejects Meta's app store age-verification push

As Europe cracks down on online content for minors, Google argues Meta's solution would create new dangers instead of solving old ones. American tech heavyweight Google on Friday reiterated its opposition to verifying the age of a device's user through the app stores built into operating systems, calling a proposal from Facebook and Instagram parent Meta 'ineffective'. Age restrictions and the European regulatory push Limiting access to age-restricted content online is a live issue in Europe, with France battling pornography sites over its newly-introduced requirement that they check users' ages. Paris is also one of several capitals pressing Brussels to introduce Europe-wide regulations cutting off access to social networks for under-15s over concerns including addiction, cyberbullying and hate speech. Basing age verification on details from a device's app store 'would require the sharing of granular age band data with millions of developers… who don't need it', such as producers of uncontroversial apps like flashlights, Google wrote in a blog post. Risk to children 'We have strong concerns about the risks this 'solution' would pose to children,' it added. The search giant's Play Store is a part of the Android operating system, by far the most widely-used around the globe. Google said that using app store data to verify ages would also leave major ways people access content online unprotected for the underage, such as desktop computers or shared family devices. ALSO READ: Google takes issue with Competition Commission market inquiry report Apple — whose own App Store is loaded on every device running its iOS operating system, such as iPhones and iPads — has also pushed back against Meta's proposal. The back and forth 'The right place to address the dangers of age-restricted content online is the limited set of websites and apps that host that content,' the iPhone maker said in a February document. 'Implementing age verification at the operating system or app store level will help ensure that we create an ecosystem that's safe for teens,' the Facebook owner's safety chief Antigone Davis told Euronews in February. Meta has since launched a campaign for European regulation to require the measure. Europe's Digital Services Act (DSA), which came into force last year, says it is up to platforms like Meta's to verify the age of their users — not providers of operating systems or app stores. Google said that changing to the latter system — which has also been pushed by Pornhub parent company Aylo — would mean 'reengineering the protocols that have defined the decentralized web in ways that are hard to fully predict'.

With Kane's curse broken, Bayern eye Club World Cup treasures

'We're certainly one of the favourites. I think this season has shown what kind of a team we are,' Kane told Germany's TZ newspaper on Wednesday. Fresh from lifting a first team title of his career, Harry Kane and Bayern Munich head to the Club World Cup in the United States eyeing more than just another shot at silverware. Long on the receiving end of jibes about not winning a team trophy in his 15-year career despite a glittering array of individual honours, the 31-year-old striker finally broke through when Bayern won the Bundesliga this season. Bayern could be in the money Besides adding another title to Bayern's bulging trophy cabinet, a Club World Cup win would be incredibly lucrative for the German giants. In a bid to boost club buy-in for the expanded tournament, FIFA has put together a whopping $1 billion prize money pool, with the winner expected to pocket $125 million. As with most of the big European sides competing in the tournament, Bayern have been handed a relatively simple task in the group stages. Bayern face Auckland City in Cincinnati on Sunday, before rounding out the group stage with matches against Boca Juniors in Miami and Benfica in Charlotte. 'One of the favourites' Member-run Bayern may dwarf all but a handful of European rivals financially, but the Club World Cup money could make an important difference at an uncertain time. Despite winning back the Bundesliga title this season after Bayer Leverkusen broke an 11-year Bavarian streak last term, Bayern are facing a rebuild this summer. Normally the one and only destination for top German talent, in-demand midfielder Florian Wirtz spurned their advances and looks set for a move to Premier League side Liverpool. With veteran Thomas Mueller leaving after the Club World Cup and wingers Leroy Sane and Kingsley Coman also reportedly headed for the exit, Bayern will need to bring in more attacking talent this transfer window. In defence, Eric Dier has left while Kim Min-jae, Dayot Upamecano and Hiroki Ito have all nursed long-term injury complaints of late. The free-agent signings of Germany duo Jonathan Tah, a centre-back, and midfielder Tom Bischof have however helped tackle two problem areas for the German giants — and at a fraction of the cost. Both players were released early by former clubs Leverkusen and Hoffenheim respectively, with Bayern paying nominal fees to allow them to make the trip to the US. After recently scoring two goals in two games for England against Andorra and Senegal, Kane heads to the US optimistic of a further taste of silverware. 'We're certainly one of the favourites. I think this season has shown what kind of a team we are,' Kane told Germany's TZ newspaper on Wednesday. 'On a good day, we can beat any opponent in the world.' Kane said the players were 'taking the tournament seriously and preparing well', despite the long season behind them. 'It's a new format with the best teams in the world competing. I'm happy to be part of it because it's an exciting opportunity.' 'Ready to rumble' While Kane may now have just a solitary team title, his strike partner Mueller is bidding to become the most decorated German footballer ever. Mueller is equal on 34 team trophies with retired Real Madrid midfielder Toni Kroos, but can inch past his former team-mate by lifting what would be his third Club World Cup. The veteran's two previous victories, in 2014 and 2021, came in the previous scaled back version of the competition. Mueller, 35, made clear he wanted to stay at Bayern after 25 years with the club. In April, he said the decision to part ways was made by the club and the club alone, but has not allowed the issue to spoil his farewell. In a social media video as Bayern took off for the United States, Mueller said: 'Of course we want to win this thing. 'Ready to rumble. Full throttle for the title. Let's go, FC Bayern.'
