Sino-US trade between the crux of the matter has not yet been solved, the EU also refuse. Recently, EU Trade Commissioner and acquire ancient hete expressed by Reuters on China trade unfriendly, aimed at the so-called Chinese Government "subsidies" project and rare-earth export issues.
Counselling in ancient said, the EU will be on China's wide range of Government "subsidies" project action and threats through the European Commission to put pressure on China to guarantee supply to European rare earth, if necessary, will consider the abolition of the EU generalized system of preferences under the grant.
It seems that the experts interviewed, finance, debt crisis in the background, the EU's pursuit of export-led economic growth will become more and more firm, acquire ancient Richter "threat" from this heart driven may greatly. However, both on the Chinese Government "subsidies" project action, or re-export pressure not facing execution issues, it is inherently unreasonable.
"Threat" not feasible
In a Reuters report, acquire ancient Richter has not mentioned the EU will be on China's large-scale Government "subsidies" action. Whereas the United Kingdom in the financial times said EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson suggested that allows · EU Commission itself began to adopt countervailing actions, the Agency will no longer need to wait for receiving complaints of enterprises.
And this is just a "take action" possible. According to earlier waimei message, another possibility is that once the EU investigation, the most direct expression will be China exported to European products will be charged a series of new tariff.
Foreign Trade University China WTO Research Institute New Springs, Vice President of TU considers that the actions of two "may have less feasible".
First look at the European Commission not Mandelson accepting complaints concerning countervailing recommendations. Tu new Springs, although consistent with WTO rules, but he speculated that it is difficult to achieve, or harmonization of Member States views on the EU enterprises in China. "But without enterprise complaint initiated anti-subsidy investigation, according to WTO rules, must meet the enterprise cannot afford or do not have the time, paving of objective conditions. ”
Tu XinQuan speculations in the Financial Times reported in validation. Reports that most enterprise reluctance to launch by the European Commission independent, because fear is the countervailing of China's "revenge".
As for China's products are generally impose a series of new tariff, Tu considers that cannot be Izumi, "the general levy customs duties does not comply with WTO rules, the customs must target a product independent complaints. ”
So, maybe as China institutes of contemporary international relations, Deputy Director of health in Europe, the European Commission revealed fundamental willingness to act, in fact, more lies "export-led economy, open the Chinese market," the fundamental objective.
According to Zhang Jian, the European Commission launched 9 new strategies of foreign trade, advocated a more hardline strategy for EU enterprises open external market. At the same time, the anti-dumping and countervailing and other traditional trade relief tool, create a new policy tools, refusing to EU enterprises and opening up public procurement markets of countries impose restrictions.
"The current threats, can be seen as a crisis period, the EU after the revitalization of the domestic economy is about to adopt a series of tough policy further opens, including China, the potential market for Overture, the purpose behind it is even more frightening. "Tu new springs and Zhang Jian common representation.
In this context, the new proposal for the current spring can be seen from EU anti-subsidy threats, China can do is legal initiative to litigation and on some of the important concepts and realities of positive interpretation to occupation of the initiative and the right to speak.
Rare problem not reasonable
As for rare earth, acquire ancient Richter in Reuters quote interpretation was: "there is currently no legal challenge China rare earth policy basis, the EU will seek other sources of supply, but also will ask the Chinese to meet the EU needs guaranteed, EC will exert pressure on China. If China, Russia and other countries continue to implement the important products, will consider the export restrictions on cancellation of the EU generalized system of preferences granted under the preferential treatment. ”
"It was contradictory, since we know that in law, unreasonable, but the tough requirements for preferential treatment. "Tu new springs with respect," if we want to ensure that we can supply to, but in the EU in order to meet our conditions. ”
In addition, the new Springs also ask whether the EU blame China for important products export restrictions, so that for a long time, the EU's own technology exports of nativism and how to explain?
And Zhang Jian, said that even so-called "differential treatment" was cancelled, there would be no because in recent years China's merchandise exports to the EU to enjoy this kind of treatment has been negligible. With the strengthening of the competitiveness of Chinese products, loss of some so-called treatment is not so important. By contrast, the control of rare earth export to achieve environmental protection, resource conservation worth is more important.
However, the new Springs also said China rare earth resource protection, you can also consider using other methods, "due to the WTO for export limits clearer, perhaps you can control the production to protect rare earth resources. For example, on rare earth industry levy additional taxes that can naturally be passed on to the prices of rare-earth elements, thereby ensuring that rare ability to a more reasonable price. ”
