歐洲準(zhǔn)備回?fù)籼乩势盏谋Ｗo(hù)主義

Europe is prepared to fight back against economic protectionism by the Donald Trump administration with policies akin to those used to combat Chinese anti-competitive practices, according to France’s industry minister.

法國工業(yè)部長克里斯托夫•西呂格(Christophe Sirugue)表示，歐洲準(zhǔn)備回?fù)籼萍{德•特朗普(Donald Trump)政府的經(jīng)濟(jì)保護(hù)主義，擬采取的政策將類似于用來打擊中國反競爭行為的政策。

Christophe Sirugue said Europe cannot be simply a “spectator” if Mr Trump follows through on his campaign promises, which include plans to tear up global trade deals and impose punitive tariffs and higher barriers to trade.

西呂格稱，如果特朗普履行其競選諾言，包括打算撕毀全球貿(mào)易協(xié)定、開征懲罰性關(guān)稅和設(shè)立更高的貿(mào)易壁壘，那么歐洲不能只作一個(gè)“旁觀者”。

“If he adopts the protectionism that he promised during the campaign, Europe would need to react to that . . . [We would need to] invent tools to react,” he said in an interview with the Financial Times.

“如果他采取他在競選期間承諾的保護(hù)主義，歐洲有必要作出回應(yīng)……(我們需要)發(fā)明一些反制手段，”他在接受英國《金融時(shí)報(bào)》采訪時(shí)表示。

Mr Sirugue said the continent could employ similar fiscal and legislative tools as those used to fight against Chinese practices that are deemed anti-competitive, for example those used to combat dumping in the steel industry.

歐洲采取過一些財(cái)政和立法手段來回?fù)糁袊切┍徽J(rèn)為具有反競爭性質(zhì)的行為，例如用來打擊鋼鐵業(yè)傾銷行為的手段。西呂格表示，歐洲可采取與之類似的手段來反制美國。

“How did we react to the Chinese? We did not close our borders. We did not say that protectionism was the response of Europe. We invented a tool that allows us to confront unfair practices abroad,” he said.

“我們過去是如何反制中國人的?我們沒有關(guān)閉我們的邊境。我們沒有說保護(hù)主義是歐洲的對(duì)策。我們發(fā)明了一種讓我們能夠應(yīng)對(duì)海外不公平做法的手段，”他表示。

“There are fiscal tools, there are regulatory tools, there is a whole pallet of reforms that could be put in place [against the US].”

“我們有財(cái)政手段，有監(jiān)管手段，有一整套可用來(反制美國的)改革措施。”

Mr Trump has focused his protectionist rhetoric on Asia and Mexico, threatening to impose a 45 per cent tariffs on goods from China and a similar 35 per cent levy on products imported from Mexico.

特朗普的保護(hù)主義言論一直針對(duì)的是亞洲和墨西哥，他揚(yáng)言要對(duì)進(jìn)口自中國的貨物征收稅率為45%的關(guān)稅，對(duì)進(jìn)口自墨西哥的產(chǎn)品征收類似的、稅率為35%的關(guān)稅。

But there are concerns that this could have a ripple effect on Europe, or that his sights could be turned on Europe next.

但有人擔(dān)心，這可能會(huì)對(duì)歐洲產(chǎn)生附帶沖擊，或者特朗普接下來可能會(huì)把目光對(duì)準(zhǔn)歐洲。
