EUROPE BLOC TO SEEK 10% DUTIES ON CHRYSLER VOYAGERS
Date: 03 October 1992
By Bloomberg News
Bloomberg News
The European Commission said yesterday that it would seek import duties of 10 percent on Voyager Vans made by the Chrysler Corporation in Austria. The move came after a breakdown in talks at which the European Community sought to insure that Chrysler did not gain an unfair competitive advantage because of aid the Austrian Government gave to Chrysler. Chrysler said it might appeal against the ruling to the European Court of Justice. Chrysler entered into a joint venture in 1990 with Steyr-Daimler-Puch to manufacture the Voyager in Graz, Austria. The Graz factory cost $410 million, with the Austrian Government providing about one-third of the cost. Under communityrules, car manufacturers can only receive state subsidies of up to 8 percent for setting up new plants.

But media experts doubt he has much of a chance. 1 PEROT'S EFFECT LOCALLY The Clinton campaign in New York and Connecticut is largely discounting the impact of Ross Perot's return.

But the program has come under fire as paying too little and discouraging friends and relatives from taking care of one another. 1 Business Digest 35 Consumer's World 11 For any tie that binds, there is a club to join.
