法国新任外交部长 Jean-Noel Barrot 公开表示，法国全力支持欧盟提出的对在中国生产的电动汽车征收关税的计划，这是因为中国政府运用补贴手段以维持其在电动车行业的主导地位。
“欧盟采取加征关税的举措并非意在对中国实施全面性保护主义政策”，Barrot 在接受 Bloomberg Television 的采访时说道。“其目的是为了创建一个公平竞争的环境。”
他进一步指出，通过实施对等措施能使欧洲保持“更加独立、经济上更为强大，并在战略上更具自主权”。
Barrot 表示，这一系列举措将有助于欧洲维护汽车及供应链行业的数万个就业机会和产出。这些产业正面临电动化进程引发的重大冲击。
41岁的 Barrot 近期上任法国外交部长，此前曾担任欧盟事务副部长不足两年。他作为法国总统与新总理协议的一部分而晋升，后者在持续的国内政治危机之后接手了职位。
Barrot 曾在美国马萨诸塞理工学院教授经济学，这是他在大学教育背景的一部分。面对政府提议对高收入者和大型企业征税以应对庞大的预算赤字情况，他正努力向投资者保证。他表示：“我们将会在接下来的日子里努力完善一项决定，确定一项由 G7 国家同意的500亿欧元贷款给乌克兰，这笔贷款将基于从俄罗斯资产中回收获得的利润。”
他还提到：“我们期望能够尽快敲定这一贷款，为乌克兰提供紧急资金援助，在未来的几个月中为其自卫提供支持。”对于中东地区的冲突，Barrot 指出，法国与美国提出的为期 21 天的停火方案“是双方都能接受的”。他呼吁，“为了缓和危机”，“我们建议双方向此提议迈出一步”。
通过这些举措，Barrot 表明了法国在国际事务中的立场和策略。

原文摘要：
France’s new foreign minister said his country supports a European Union plan to impose tariffs on electric vehicles produced in China given the subsidies Beijing has used to maintain dominance in the sector.“The intention of the EU by raising those tariffs is not to engage in some form of general protectionist policy with respect to China,” Jean-Noel Barrot said in an interview with Bloomberg Television’s . “It is basically to create a level playing field.”Applying reciprocity measures will allow Europe to remain “more independent, stronger economically and strategically more autonomous,” he said.Read More: At the same time, talks are underway between China and the EU as both sides seek ways to avert looming tariffs. At stake for Europe are the tens of thousands of jobs and economic output from the automobile and supplier industries that are facing a profound impact from electrification. Barrot, 41, took charge of the foreign ministry last week after spending less than two years as junior minister for European Union affairs. His promotion was part of an agreement between President and the new prime minister, , who took over after months of domestic political crisis.An economist who previously taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Barrot is seeking to reassure investors after the government said it was studying targeted taxes on the wealthy and large companies in an effort to confront the massive budget deficit. Barrot said France was “going to work hard in the coming days and weeks” to finalize a $50 billion loan to Ukraine agreed upon among Group of 7 nations that would be based on profits from seized Russian assets.“Hopefully we can finalize this to provide a sort of a balloon of oxygen and means for Ukraine to defend itself in the coming months,” he said.On the conflict in the Middle East, Barrot said a 21-day cease-fire plan offered by France and the US to halt Israel’s clash with Hezbollah “can be acceptable for both parties.”“We urge both parties to seize this proposal in order for the crisis to cool down,” Barrot said.
