BERLIN, May 6 (Reuters) - German parts supplier

Continental is well positioned to absorb the impact of

global trade tensions and the group's full-year guidance would

not automatically change in the case of further tariffs, its CFO

told Reuters on Tuesday.

"It is clear, including when we look at how solid we are

after the first quarter, if there are further tariffs or burdens

as a result, this does not mean that we automatically have to

adjust our annual outlook immediately," chief executive Olaf

Schick said.

Continental imports most of its automotive parts to the

United States from Mexico. The majority are in line with a free

trade agreement between those countries, Schick said, adding

that it was important to expand such imports.
