EU trade publication of the draft new strategic impact China weak industry

The EU has recently announced the next ten years a new strategy for industrial development, while at the same time, the media also revealed the new EU trade strategy, which indicates that the "EU 2020 strategy" of important details begin to display luzhenrong. "Strategic" to "12 five" period of China's economic transformation provides the inspiration for the expansion of EU economic and trade cooperation brings new opportunities. However, some of the new policy particularly weak trade strategy on China-EU economic and trade industry and potential adverse effects worthy of vigilance.

Industry, trade segmentation strategy revealed

The European Commission on 28 October launched a new strategy for industrial development, made the top ten industrial revitalization initiative, including the improvement of legislation supporting small and medium enterprises development, strengthening EU standardization and improvement of infrastructure, etc.

At the same time, it has been disclosed, the EU's future waimei ten years trade new draft strategy mainly consists of two main elements: first, to protect their access to the raw materials market, the second is support for free trade. Bill pointed out: "sustainable and smooth raw materials and energy supply, competitiveness for the EU economy, and strategic importance, and many countries outside the European Union's industrial policy in manufacturing supply bottlenecks, and other obstacles. ”

On the positive significance of China

The European Union to consolidate the industry practice implications of China's economic transition to always maintain the economy of "productive".

For a long time, the industry has been the dominant industry in the countries of the European Union. However, as some European countries over the pursuit of "economy and finance", causing economic loss "productive" this growth basis, eventually caught in crisis addicted, and those who possess a strong industrial base of countries such as Germany, has achieved a strong recovery. Therefore, the EU has introduced a new strategy of industrial development focused on consolidation of the industrial advantage.

This warning to China's economic transition in the development of financial and other virtual industry at the same time, it is important to ensure that the economic entities in the industry have sufficient "productive".

On the other hand, the EU will launch the top ten industrial revitalization initiatives. Through the introduction of the EU's high-tech, as China's economic restructuring to provide a good technical support. In addition, the EU trade strategy in support of the principle of free trade, as well as strengthening EU standardization, improvement of infrastructure and other specific actions, the more beneficial to our company and products entering the EU market.

The three should be alert to potential adverse effects

At the same time, the EU is part of the new policy is more "protectionist" and "offensive". It-related industries in China and the EU economic and trade development has the potential of adverse effects must arouse our great attention and vigilance.

First, new EU strategic raw materials may be raised with our more trade friction. The European Commission announced the industrial strategy also proposes to develop a new strategic raw materials, focusing on States to limit the export of raw materials, as well as the policy of government subsidies. At the same time, EU trade strategy draft also pointed out that no country hinders the economic development of the EU for the rare raw materials or energy, will take punitive measures. However, the structure from which the European Union, the EU has many raw materials are imported from China. It is expected that the EU is the targeted policy is very easy to raise Europe's trade friction, or even the entire economy, foreign relations of tension, because most of the strategic resources of raw materials, related to countries ' economic security.

Second, the EU trade protection means more intensive, more easily on my form trade protection. The EU will promote the above industrial industry technical standards, which for its part will be the new pressures. The EU can rely on the standard-setting in the hands of the right to limit and block our products entering the EU market. At the same time, the European Commission also pointed out that the future EU industrial development policies in the EU-level coordination, once the EU States to strengthen the integration of industrial policy, on the possibility of forming a barrier to trade and the damage will be increased significantly. The European Commission in the strategy explicitly said: "to give strategic industry subsidies, the EU will take punitive measures, such as the protective tariff. ”

Third, the EU put pressure on me to further market opening, the weak will impact the domestic industry. The draft EU trade strategy stated that its China encountered obstacles, including intellectual property protection, the transparency of the standardization system, certification program complexity and priority of local manufacturers, raw materials, to put pressure on China's further liberalisation of market access. EU trade strategy is the new content requires a more equitable access to developed country and large emerging economies, government procurement markets, while the latter is considered it is referring to China. To this end, the EU would like to urge China to sign agreement on government procurement (GPA), forcing China to further open up public procurement markets. Obviously, once the further liberalisation of market access, the dominant industry in EU competition, the country's weak industry would be seriously challenged.

From energy-saving environmental protection to market integration: the Chinese foreign trade designation "12" deep tune "five red line"

Among the many foreign trade companies and business people, it seems increasingly clear "12 five" planning for the Chinese foreign trade "Center of gravity" of the blueprint and just landed in foreign trade industry itself, China's macroeconomic decision-making oriented "red line" effect is more worthy of attention.

Analysis from authoritative sources pointed out that the most interesting one of the "red line" is for ecological civilization of the high demand.

"Faced with numerous foreign trade enterprises and business associations, Chen Deming said," the China external trade development must longer to resources and the environment is, this is the bottom line. ”

While the attention of another "red line" is the growing integration within and outside the market requirement. CPC Central Committee on "12 recommendations of the five" plan explicitly said, "we must adhere to the enlargement strategy," "speed up the formation of consumption, investment, export to coordinate a new situation in stimulating economic growth."

In my opinion, the future of China's domestic markets will significantly exceed Japan to become the world's second largest domestic market. ”

But the good news is that many foreign trade companies of the eyes begin to focus on the domestic market. "The Government advocated the importance we attach to the domestic market, the development of the enterprise's five-year plan, we are also focused on how to keep pace with this trend. "Shandong mountains and glass products co., Ltd. Chairman of the Board is the sturdy pine tree said, the company began operations from the domestic market in 2008, is now in the country there are about 100" HOS element "counter, the proportion of total sales from 2009 5% to 10% of this year, the future will be further expanded.
