Kua whakatau te Komihana o Ūropi ki te whakatakoto i ngā takoha ārai-tāpui mō ngā kawemai o ngā waka hiko i hangaia ki Haina.

I te 12 o Hune 2024, i runga i ngā kitenga tuatahi mai i tētahi rangahau ārai-tāpui i tīmatahia i te tau kua hipa, kua whakatau te Komihana Pākehā ki te whakatakoto i ngā takoha tautāwhi mō ngā kawemai o ngā waka hiko i hangaia ki Haina. Ka haere tonu te rangahau mō ētahi marama tae noa ki te whakatau a te Komihana mēnā ka whakaarohia he tikanga tautāwhi whakamutunga. Kātahi ka pōti ngā Whenua Mema mō aua whakaaro. E ai ki tētahi kōrero a te Komihana Pākehā, ka whakatakotoria ēnei takoha ki runga ake i te takoha 10% o te EU. Nā tēnei ka tata te tapeke o te takoha ki te 50%. Ko te whakatau ki te whakatakoto i ēnei takoha tautāwhi i muri i tētahi rangahau mēnā ka whiwhi ngā kaihanga waka hiko Hainamana i te tautoko takoha a te kāwanatanga.

I whakarewahia e te Komihana Pākehā, te peka whakahaere o te EU, te rangahau i te Oketopa kua taha ake nei hei whakatau mena he iti rawa ngā utu waka hiko Hainamana nā ngā tahua tautoko e pā kino ana ki ngā kaihanga waka Pākehā. Kua noho te umanga waka hiko e tere whanake ana o Haina hei kaitākaro nui i te mākete o te ao. E whakapono ana te EU tera pea ka whai hua ngā kaihanga waka hiko Hainamana mai i ngā tahua tautoko kore tika, e whakararu ana i te whakataetae o ngā kaihanga waka o te EU.

"I kī te Kaiwhakahaere Matua o te ACEA, a Sigrid de Vries: Ko te tikanga o te hokohoko kore utu me te tika ko te whakarite i te papa tākaro ōrite mō ngā kaiwhakataetae katoa, engari he wāhanga nui tēnei o te wero whakataetae o te ao. Kia whakataetae ai te umanga motuka o Ūropi i te ao, ko te mea e tino hiahiatia ana ko te rautaki ahumahi pakari mō ngā waka hiko. Mō te uara o ngā kaweake motuka o te EU, ko Haina te tuatoru o ngā mākete nui rawa atu i muri i te United States (tuatahi) me te United Kingdom (tuarua). I te tau 2023, i kaweake a Haina i te 438,034 waka hiko parakore ki te EU, he €9.7 piriona te uara. I te tau 2023, i kaweake te EU i te 11,499 waka hiko parakore ki Haina, he €852.3 miriona te uara. I roto i ngā tau e toru kua pahure ake nei, kua piki ake te wāhi mākete o ngā waka i hangaia e Haina i roto i ngā hoko waka hiko pākahiko o te EU mai i te 3% ki te neke atu i te 21.7%. Ko ngā waitohu Haina e tata ana ki te 8% o tēnei wāhi mākete (ngā raraunga i tangohia mai i: European Automobile Manufacturers' Association).
