Investing.com -- The European Union is considering a new trade measure that would require certain Chinese exporters to contribute critical raw materials to EU stockpiles when shipping goods into the bloc.

Officials describe this potential requirement as an "in-kind" tariff, according to a report from Bloomberg News, citing people familiar with the plans. This option is among several being evaluated by the EU if diplomatic efforts fail to resolve issues related to Chinese export controls on critical inputs.

The European Commission, which manages trade matters for the EU, is also discussing other possible measures including targeted export restrictions on goods and services that China depends on.

These discussions remain ongoing with no final decisions made.
