歐盟準備對中國進口油電混合車實施進口限額以降低貿易逆差,中國該產品在歐洲銷售佔總額25%,而中國電動車進口成長已放緩。
〔編譯魏國金/台北報導〕彭博7日報導,歐盟準備採取所謂的保障措施,對中國進口油電混合車實施進口限額,以降低貿易逆差。
知情者透露,在中國油電混合車於歐洲的銷售飆升後,歐盟執委會或許將實施進口限制,目前中國該產品已佔總銷售額25%,與此同時,已面臨歐盟高關稅的中國電動車進口成長已放緩。
報導說,保障措施允許歐盟在某一產業產品的進口激增後,對相關產品實施進口限制。歐盟可透過關稅配額實施該措施,亦即對超過特定數量的進口產品徵收關稅,歐盟提議的進口限額將有時效性。
知情者透露,歐盟執委會計畫以油電混合車為測試,如果奏效,將推展至歐盟認為貿易失衡的其他產業。
歐盟貿易事務專員塞夫柯維奇(Maros Sefcovic)本週將前往北京,與中國商務部長王文濤會商。知情者說,歐盟該計畫可能根據雙方會談結果有所調整。
路透報導,塞夫柯維奇上週表示,中國進口歐盟近4分之1產品以令人憂心的速度成長,包括工具機、紡織品、基本金屬與化學品的進口成長異常。
不過,歐盟官員尤其憂心中國進口汽車的急遽上升。今年前9月,進口插電式油電混合車已飆漲86%,而價格下降20%。電動車則成長40%,這些汽車超過半數來自中國。
中國國營中央電視台旗下新聞帳號「玉淵譚天」7日警告歐盟,如果雙方貿易緊張惡化,中國將動用外國補貼調查、反歧視措施等多種工具反制。
中國商務部國際貿易經濟合作研究院研究員周密表示,這些調查可以評估境外相關政策是否影響中國企業、是否形成不公平競爭,從而維護中國企業的正當利益,減少不公平政策及其外溢效應對中國產業造成的影響。
