Oct 17 05:43	New Talk Taiwan	EU plans to implement trade diversification measures in December to accelerate reduction of dependence on China ZH歐盟擬12月實施貿易多元化措施　加速降低對中國依賴歐盟擬12月實施貿易多元化措施，加速降低對中國依賴。圖：EU Council官方臉書 Newtalk新聞歐盟執委會主席范德賴恩今天表示，歐盟將尋求最快於今年12月實施一項新的貿易多元化措施，以改善與中國之間巨大的貿易失衡問題。這種失衡讓中國在歐洲多個製造業領域已取得主導地位。「日經亞洲」報導，范德賴恩（Ursula von der Leyen）在歐盟27個成員國領袖兩天會議結束後告訴記者：「我們將提出一項名為『歐盟多元化』（Diversify EU）措施。這項工具不會針對特定國家，並將使企業能夠更快降低風險。我們也將提出一項團結機制，明確說明當任何一個成員國遭受脅迫或報復時，歐盟可以採取哪些行動。」這項多元化工具是歐盟執委會貿易政策的一部分。歐盟執委會是歐盟行政機構，可運用這些工具應對其認為不公平且損害歐洲產業利益的貿易行為。這項措施將要求關鍵產業的企業，必須從至少3家供應商採購重要原料，化學品與機械產業是優先關注的重點。歐盟上週才與中國達成協議，限制中國製油電混合動力車進口。比利時與法國跨國化學品製造商蘇威集團（Solvay）發言人對保護產業的相關措施表示歡迎。他說：「結構性且由國家政策造成的產能過剩，尤其是來自中國的過剩供應，正對歐洲生產商造成嚴重衝擊。自2022年以來，歐洲已宣布關閉近10%的化學品產能。」但這位發言人同時也提到產業複雜性，表示「化學品不是汽車…任何措施都必須根據證據，針對不同產品分別設計，並考量對下游使用者的影響。透過談判達成的配額不能只單純鎖定今日的進口水準。」汽車產業成為歐洲各國領袖關注的焦點。法國和德國也正推動一項方案，希望英國遵循歐盟汽車產業相關規範，則可豁免「歐洲製造」在地含量相關措施。如果這項計畫獲得歐盟批准，英國將必須採用歐盟針對中國製電動車實施的懲罰性關稅制度。英國是中國電動車的重要進口市場之一，也是比亞迪在中國以外最大的市場。歐盟執委會執委塞夫柯維奇（Maros Sefcovic）上週在北京與中國商務部長王文濤會談。雙方達成協議，同意自明年起將中國出口至歐盟的油電混合動力車數量限制在35萬輛，此後每年再增加6%。兩年前，歐盟對中國製電動車加徵進口關稅後，中國汽車製造商便轉而擴大油電混合動力車生產。外界普遍正面看待這次會談，認為雙方都有意作出妥協，避免貿易衝突進一步升級。歐盟表示，每天約10億歐元對中貿易逆差難以持續；另一方面，面對中國經濟成長放緩及美國進口關稅，中國也需要歐洲市場消化產品。日本與韓國汽車製造商已表達擔憂，認為汽車產業的保護措施可能對其造成損害，尤其是在相關規定不區分特定國家的情況下。日本西村朝日法律事務所分析師戈菲奧爾（Jonathan Goffioul）說：「即使政策原本是針對中國，日本汽車製造商仍可能受到附帶衝擊。」戈菲奧爾指出，業界需要歐盟進一步說明配額如何分配，以及將如何對待貿易夥伴。他表示：「歐盟目前已有防止企業透過第三國加工規避貿易限制的規定，但是否會進一步引入原產地查核或反規避要求，目前仍不明朗。這些措施可能會增加日本製造商所承擔的合規成本。」另一名律師指出，中國汽車製造商已大幅增加對歐洲生產基地的投資，因此歐盟針對這些企業制定的法規，將不能再只著重於進口限制。根據中國海關數據，中國9月出口額年增36.3%。當月中國對歐盟貿易順差擴大至348億美元，高於去年同期的229億美元。中國國務院總理李強15日在廣交會演講中，談到全球貿易失衡問題，表示各界對此已有「相當多的討論」，並認為這些討論源於保護主義。李強沒有點名任何國家，但表示「不能單純將順差視為『占了別人的便宜』，將逆差視為『自己吃了虧』…一方面對他國實施出口管制，另一方面又要求貿易平衡，這是不切實際的。這種做法只會推高成本、擾亂產業鏈與供應鏈，並進一步加劇失衡。」儘管外界高度關注歐盟貿易政策，歐盟理事會這次會議的主要議題仍是下一個7年期預算，其中包括對烏克蘭的援助，各方希望儘快敲定協議。烏克蘭總統澤倫斯基（Volodymyr … CN

Oct 15 08:17	New Talk Taiwan	EU summit kicks off in Brussels on the 15th! Defense, aid to Ukraine, and blocking Chinese imports become the focus ZH歐盟峰會15日布魯塞爾登場！　國防、援烏與防堵中國進口成焦點 Newtalk新聞歐盟27國領袖當地時間15日起在比利時布魯塞爾展開為期兩天的峰會，各國領袖將聚焦如何提振歐洲競爭力、保護本土產業，並就國防建設、援助烏克蘭、能源轉型及移民問題尋求共識。除此之外，據外媒報導，歐盟與中國之間經貿問題也將是本次峰會各國領袖討論焦點。根據歐盟理事會官方議程，歐盟長期面臨生產力成長偏弱、單一市場碎片化及企業規模不足等問題，因此這次峰會將持續推動「一個歐洲、一個市場」計畫，減少成員國之間的貿易與投資障礙，讓商品、服務、資金及人才更容易跨境流動，並強化歐洲企業的投資與創新能力。烏克蘭總統澤連斯基（Volodymyr Zelenskyy ）預計赴布魯塞爾與歐盟領袖討論後續援助。俄羅斯近期持續攻擊烏克蘭重要基礎設施，在冬季將至之際，烏克蘭對能源供應與基礎設施維修的需求更加迫切。歐盟領袖也將討論未來對烏克蘭的財政支援，並檢視烏克蘭加入歐盟的進展。隨著俄羅斯持續對歐洲發動混合式攻擊，國防安全也成為歐盟重要議題。歐盟領袖將藉這次峰會討論加快提升軍事能力，尤其是填補關鍵軍事裝備及防禦能力缺口，以提升整體國防整備程度。能源問題同樣迫在眉睫。受到中東衝突及國際能源市場波動影響，歐盟領袖將討論具針對性、暫時性的短期措施，以減輕高能源價格對民眾及企業造成的衝擊。不過，歐盟也強調將持續推動能源轉型，降低對化石燃料的依賴，減少未來受到國際能源市場波動影響。在移民問題方面，歐洲理事會主席柯斯塔（Antonio Costa）指出，歐盟近年推動的移民政策已出現成效，非正常移民人數明顯且持續下降，但各國仍須保持警戒。除了自身經濟問題亟待解決，歐洲也面臨中國帶來的競爭壓力。據《路透社》報導，中國出口持續對歐洲產業造成衝擊。歐盟去年對中國的商品貿易逆差高達 3600 億歐元，今年預計可能進一步擴大。歐洲產業界警告，中國商品大量進入市場，影響範圍涵蓋汽車、化學品、鋼鐵及機械等產業，已衝擊當地工廠與就業。歐盟近期也與中國就限制中國混合動力車對歐出口達成初步協議。不過，一名歐盟資深外交官警告，貿易失衡涉及多個產業，「我們沒有太多時間，因為每過一個月，就有數千個工作機會流失。」根據峰會結論草案，歐盟執委會預計將繼續與中國談判，並透過現有貿易防禦措施保護歐洲產業。德國對中國進口商品的態度也出現明顯轉變。德國政府兩年前仍反對歐盟對中國製電動車加徵反補貼關稅，如今卻與法國共同呼籲，歐盟必須盡快採取措施，因應中國化學品及廣泛用於包裝的 PET 塑膠大量進口，並建立更迅速的貿易反制機制。中國方面則反駁，歐盟刻意炒作貿易失衡問題，是為了推動保護主義並限制中國發展。延伸閱讀：賀錦麗頻跑期中選舉行程！外媒：恐為2028美總統大選提前佈局北京遭冷落？與俄羅斯陸橋不到2年就完工中國與北韓新大橋延宕12年終啟用傳美國欲解凍莫斯科資產促俄烏和談！歐洲多國強烈反對肺鼠疫疑雲引恐慌！中國網友喊囤口罩香港有人一次掃17盒肺鼠疫蔓延至北京？網傳2病例是7年前中俄再加強邊境控管 CN

Oct 14 15:37	New Talk Taiwan	UK Business Secretary: Will not be pressured by the EU to impose taxes on Chinese electric vehicles ZH英國商貿大臣：不會迫於歐盟壓力對中國電動車加稅 Newtalk新聞英國商業、創新、科學暨貿易大臣雷諾茲說，英國不會迫於來自歐盟的壓力，對中國電動車加徵進口關稅。他強調，英國就貿易防衛措施採取任何決策時，依據的是英國的國家利益，「而不是因為有任何國家提出要求」。歐盟2024年起對中國電動車加徵進口關稅，稅率最高可超過45%，近日更推出「限額進口」措施，預計自2027年初步提供中國混合動力電動車35萬輛的進口配額。中國電動車的價格優勢給歐盟汽車產業帶來壓力，並引發供應鏈依賴和「去工業化」的擔憂。英國則至今未對中國電動車採取較強硬反制。同時，日本的日產汽車（Nissan）正與中國奇瑞汽車（Chery）協商，以利最快明年起，在英格蘭東北部桑德蘭市（Sunderland）的Nissan廠房為Chery生產汽車。一旦協議達成，這將是中國汽車在英國本土量產首例。這對尋求擴大國內勞動市場、提升就業率的英國政府而言，可被呈現為「利多」。正率團在印度訪問的雷諾茲（Jonathan Reynolds）告訴英國「衛報」（The Guardian），雖然未來不排除對中國貨品進口施加限制，他不認為英國現在不這麼做，就會成為中國貨品進入歐盟市場的「後門」。部分人士批評，英國對中貿易政策過於寬鬆，恐成為歐盟對中貿易保衛戰的「破口」。雷諾茲說，英國政府2024年即曾審慎評估相關議題，目前也將持續依據產業需求滾動檢討。不過，問題最終仍得回到英國汽車產業的根本特質，也就是「出口導向」，而身為商貿大臣，他必須考慮這一點。這意味英方必須考慮中國是否可能採取反制措施，因此傷及英國汽車對中出口，例如捷豹荒原路華（Jaguar Land Rover）、勞斯萊斯（Rolls-Royce）、賓利（Bentley）、阿斯頓馬丁（Aston Martin）等豪華汽車品牌。這些品牌在中國的市占率近年明顯呈下滑趨勢，原因包括來自中國品牌的競爭。另一方面，中國汽車品牌在英國的市占率快速成長，已近20%。日前曾有媒體報導，英國政府正研議對中國電動車加徵進口關稅，以促進與歐盟的協調一致、為即將於11月登場的英國－歐盟峰會奠定良好基礎。不過，觀察雷諾茲今年7月上任以來的歷次發言即可推論，為「平衡」各方利益、「通盤考量」各項風險，英國或許不至於在中國電動車議題緊跟歐盟腳步。雷諾茲9月中旬參訪英國頂級跑車品牌麥拉倫（McLaren）車廠時曾說，英國不宜冒著北京報復的風險對中國電動車加稅，並因此讓英國汽車出口蒙受損失，「我們想賣車給中國」。英國「每日電訊報」（Daily Telegraph）當時報導，雷諾茲進一步表示，與其對中國汽車生產商設下重重障礙，不如試著善加運用來自中國的先進工程技術；政府不排除鼓勵中國電動車業者將英國視為進軍歐洲市場的橋頭堡。雷諾茲認為，中國值得關注的不僅是具成本優勢的生產模式，還有「創新程度在全球名列前茅」的部分中國企業。報導引述雷諾茲表示，英國應「放眼世界」、「著眼創新所在，並把創新帶回英國」。至於中國電動車被視為有資訊安全疑慮，雷諾茲說，英國政府將持續監控各項安全風險、逐案檢視。安全疑慮確實是重要考量，但引入最先進科技也很重要。雷諾茲今天對中國電動車議題的最新表態恐為11月在布魯塞爾舉行的英歐峰會埋下不確定因素。英國現任首相柏南（Andy Burnham）較與他同為工黨籍的前首相施凱爾（Keir Starmer，2024年至2026年7月在任）更積極推動與歐盟整合，近日表態不排除「重返歐盟」。此外，英國尋求參加歐盟旨在振興歐洲工業、提升供應鏈自主的「歐洲製造」（Made in Europe）機制，並持續爭取在該機制上路前，對歐盟施加影響力，以免相關法規損害英國企業利益。英國已於2020年1月正式脫離歐盟。在這樣的背景下，以及歐盟高度重視與中國的貿易失衡問題，英國與歐盟在貿易政策依然有明顯分歧，這恐增加英方「返歐」難度。對中貿易失衡也是歐盟推出「歐洲製造」的因素之一。關於有消息指出英國被敦促對中國電動車加稅、否則難以在對歐貿易談判取得顯著進展，雷諾茲告訴「衛報」，不讓英國加入「歐洲製造」，是歐盟的損失，畢竟英國與歐盟的供應鏈彼此高度整合。 … CN
