BERLIN, July 31 (Reuters) - German carmaker BMW

welcomes the European Union's 15% tariff agreement

with the United States, CEO Oliver Zipse said on Thursday,

calling on both sides to swiftly implement the deal.

"The BMW Group welcomes the fundamental agreement between

the European Union and the United States to reduce tariffs on

both sides of the Atlantic. It's now important to quickly

finalise and implement the agreed measures," Zipse said,

according to a transcript of his speech following quarterly

results.

The company remains on track with its 2025 targets "despite

ongoing tariff uncertainty and fluctuations in the Chinese

market", he added.
