美国欧盟达成钢铝关税协议

2021年10月31日

 

美国商务部长雷蒙多（Gina Raimondo）对记者说，“美国欧盟钢铝关税协议”（U.S.-EU Agreement on Steel and Aluminum Tariffs）将维持美国根据“232条款”对钢材进口征收的25%和对铝进口征收的10%的关税，同时允许“有限”的欧盟生产的钢铝产品免税进入美国。

 

雷蒙多说，这项协议将降低美国制造商的钢消费代价。美国的钢材价格已经达到每吨1900美元的历史新高，加剧了美国制造产品的价格通胀，包括汽车在内。

 

这项协议消除了跨大西洋盟友间的摩擦来源，让他们集中谈判达成一项全球贸易协定，解决主要由中国造成的全球性的钢铝产能过剩，并减少碳排放。

 

欧盟贸易专员东布罗夫斯基斯（Valdis Dombrovskis）在推特上证实了这项协议。他说，“我们与美国同意停止”贸易纠纷，并就未来一项可持续的钢铝全球协议开展合作。

 

白宫国家安全顾问沙利文在星期六晚间的电话会议上对记者说，“这项最终通过谈判达成一项钢铝贸易的碳基础安排协议解决了中国在钢铝领域的产能过剩和碳密集问题。”他并指出，气候和工人可以同时受到保护。

 

美国钢铁协会（American Iron and Steel Institute）主席登普西（Kevin Dempsey）说，这项协议将帮助防范另一波钢铁进口的激增。他说，“我们敦促美国和欧盟采取积极措施，追究中国和其它使用贸易扭曲政策国家的责任。”

Australia.

Says China has disrupted trade covering a wide range of products, naming "arbitrary border testing & inspection, unwarranted delays in listing & readiness to export establishments, issuing import licenses, unjustified anti-dumping & countervailing duties"

"WTO rules do not permit a member, however large, to impose conditions such as these on trade with another member," Australian delegation said in its intervention.

Japan criticised China for "overcapacity in the steel sector."

"Unfortunately, we have witnessed a move in opposite direction including the increase in China's production capacity since 2019," Japanese delegation said, per Geneva source.

The US accuses China of using the "imprimatur of WTO membership to become the WTO largest trader" but doubling down on state-led trade policy "to the detriment of workers and businesses in the US"

— Finbarr Bermingham (@fbermingham) October 20, 2021

US lashed out at China's use of "economic coercion" to "pressure offending country to correct mistakes" when WTO members criticise China.

"A number of WTO members in this room have experienced China's economic coercion," they added.
