面对欧洲议会将对中国电动汽车进口是否课征关税的关键投票,布鲁塞尔与北京正在积极寻求替代方案以避免实施关税。双方正探讨价格承诺机制的可能性,这是一种复杂的制度,旨在控制出口车辆的价格与数量,以避免反补贴关税。
据《路透社》报道,即便在短期内欧盟成员国就关税问题进行表决,双方的谈判也将继续进行。欧洲联盟当前正在草拟法律条款中增加一条允许持续会谈的规定,并预计各国将在下月初对该条文进行投票。
欧盟执行机构一再强调,任何替代措施必须严格遵守世贸组织规则、应对中国补贴政策的影响并确保欧盟对其合规性的监测能力。德国和西班牙等国反对课征关税的提议,而意大利、丹麦等其他国家则支持这一举措。
一旦成员国表决通过,可能将从11月起实施为期5年的高至约35%的关税,前提是未获得至少15个代表欧洲联盟65%人口的成员国的合格多数反对。目前欧盟征收的税率为10%。中国已经反驳了反补贴调查是保护主义行为的说法,并试图通过向西班牙、匈牙利等国家承诺增加对汽车工厂的投资来拉拢成员国,同时威胁将对奶制品、烈酒、猪肉以及大型引擎车辆等产品课征关税。
据《华尔街日报》报导,在应对气候变化方面,企业可以透过降低风险和成本来进行风险管理。HSBC的美洲全球贸易解决方案负责人Marissa Adams表示:“考虑气候风险及其相关的财务与环境效益,并针对供应链减排寻找解决方案是必要的。”这是CDP与HSBC共同研究的结果,该研究评估了企业减少排放可带来的经济效益。

原文地址:Supply Chain Latest: China and EU Seek Deal to Avert EV Tariffs
新闻日期:2024-09-25
原文摘要:
With a vote on introducing tariffs on electric vehicles coming into Europe from China looming, Brussels and Beijing are to find an alternative solution to the levies.The two sides are exploring whether an agreement can be reached on so-called price undertakings, a complex mechanism to control prices and volumes of exports used to avoid anti-subsidy tariffs.Negotiations will continue even if European Union member states vote in the coming days to impose tariffs, Bloomberg reported.The bloc is currently working to add a provision to the draft legislation to allow talks to keep going, which member states are now expected to then vote on by early next month.The EU’s executive arm has repeatedly said that any alternative to tariffs has to have strict requirements, including alignment with WTO rules, address the impact of China’s subsidies, and be something the EU can monitor for compliance.Germany and Spain are among the member states to have argued against tariffs, while others such as Italy and Denmark back the measures.The vote would pave the way for duties as high as about 35% to kick in from November for five years unless a qualified majority — 15 member states representing 65% of the bloc’s population — opposes the move. The new tariffs would be on top of the existing 10% rate.China, who has dismissed the anti-subsidies probe as a protectionist measure, has tried to lure member states to its corner by offering both a carrot of increased investment into car plants — in countries like Spain and Hungary — and the stick of threatening tariffs on dairy, brandy, pork and other products, including cars with large engines.Read More: — from Brussels Companies can mitigate risks and cut costs by , according to HSBC.
