German Agency "propaganda" EU: recognize China's market economy status as soon as possible | | EU market economy _ news

Recently, Germany a German Research Institute IFO Economic Research Institute in Munich announced its submission of a report to the European Parliament, sends an important signal to the EU: should consider recognizing China's market economy status as soon as possible. Experts pointed out that China already has market economy, recognizing China's market economy status is a general trend, early admit it on both sides of the EU is a good thing. Moreover, the EU should be clear, even if they do not recognize China's market economy status, according to the provisions on December 11 termination used in anti-dumping investigations against China "surrogate country" approach.

　EU practice contradiction highlights

For a long time, there is a concern within the EU recognition of China's market economy status, the EU will lose anti-dumping "chip". The Munich IFO report responded to this: Although "recognition" China "market economy status" to mean a lower anti-dumping taxes, but it will not in itself reduce dumping of EU defense capabilities.

In fact, while the EU rely on "not to recognize China's market economy status" approach, a number of anti-dumping measures to China, but its problems and contradictions are obvious. Report noted that by the end of 2014, 51-euro in response to China's anti-dumping measures relate only to the EU 2% in total bilateral trade with China, but the EU less than 2% for the above set of anti-dumping measures by the EU-China trade volume accounted for 47% of the total number of existing anti-dumping measures.

In addition, Germany, and Italy, and France and Spain frequently supports in countries such as China Steel, chemical and other industries launched anti-dumping, the report stated that, there is no clear evidence to show that the so-called "China's low-cost advantage or dumping" really exist.

"The reason why there are so many contradictory practices of the European Union, mainly under the influence of trade protectionism, especially in the face of China's competitive products, the EU seems only to get ' not to recognize China's market economy status ' as an excuse for their anti-dumping. In addition, some interest groups ' bondage ' also hamper the EU made the right decision. "The national development and Reform Commission of China foreign economic relations and international cooperation of the Institute Director Zhang Jianping said in in an interview with this reporter.

In the view of Zhang Jianping, as IFO in Munich is the requirement to submit reports to the European Parliament, the report pointed out that these issues also reflect current in many countries within the European Union also supported the recognition of China's market economy status, which will help the European Union make a more informed decision in this matter.

IFO of Munich is Germany a very strong independent, authoritative economic Research Institute published its business climate index, Germany economic sentiment forecast and economic policy recommendations, such as Germany and even the attention of Governments in the world.

　　China has the conditions of market economy

The EU has been reluctant to recognize China's market economy status, what on earth are they standard? University School of law professor Chen Weidong points out that, in the World Trade Organization (WTO), and not one about an economy is a market economy or a non-market economy, leading to different treatment provisions. Europe say China is a non-market economy, in fact, they are not based on WTO terms, but Europe and the domestic law of the State.

"It is obvious that Europe and China has a market economy status is measured their own unilateral, and what are the specific criteria, Europe has no clear public statement. When it comes to cases against them, standards of Europe and can be modified to suit your needs, laws. "Zhang Jianping said.

Chinese Ambassador to Germany, Ambassador Shi Mingde said, it should be noted that over the years, China has made great achievements in socialist market economic construction. We believe that whatever the EU admit it or not, China has a market economy conditions.

EU needs to recognize the current overall situation. At present, more than more than 80 economies have recognized China's market economy status, including New Zealand, and Switzerland, and Australia and other developed economies. China has become the world's second largest economy, the first large trade in goods, as well as largest trading partners in more than 130 countries.

　　Admit it or not to fulfil an obligation

Recognizing China's market economy status at an early date of EU benefits obvious. Zhang Jianping pointed out that, current European economic are in recovery period, still faced with United Kingdom "from EU" "refugees tide", event brings of not determine factors, if can as soon as possible admitted China market status, will prompted central trade more health fast of development, and consider to both huge of trade scale, this will helps help EU overcome current economic difficult, solid its in world economic in the of status.

"Not to grant market economy status to China could threaten Central Europe investment agreement negotiations smoothly and the prospects for the Central European free trade agreement in the future. "Central figures Association Chairman luyiji·ganbaerdaila said, China is now the only one decided to meet Juncker investment plan of non-EU countries, by recognizing China as a market economy, the EU can further strengthen dialogue with China, promoting the activities of EU companies in China, in turn, hurt feelings and mutual trust between China and the EU, have a great negative impact.

"EU communication remains an important channel to solve the problem, it's good for the central development and recovery of the world economy, the China-EU Summit being held may be able to help the parties ' recognition of China's market economy status ' seeking a better solution on the issue. "Zhang Jianping said, but also would like to stress is that whether to grant China market economy status under the Protocol on China's accession to the WTO and 15th are two different things, not often confuse the two.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi had already made it clear that, when the 15th article of the Protocol, WTO members should end on December 11, 2016 used in anti-dumping investigations against China "surrogate country" approach. This is all WTO members should comply with international treaty obligations, does not depend on any member of the national standards. Therefore, regardless of whether or not to grant China market economy status, the European Union as a member of the WTO, have all fulfilled their legal obligations section 15th of the Protocol, unavoidable and shirk.

德机构“喊话”欧盟:尽快承认中国市场经济地位|欧盟|市场经济_新闻资讯

　　近日，德国权威经济研究机构慕尼黑IFO经济研究所公布了其提交给欧洲议会的一份报告，向欧盟传递了一个重要信号：应尽快考虑承认中国市场经济地 位。专家指出，中国已经具备市场经济条件，承认中国市场经济地位是大势所趋，欧盟早日承认这一点对中欧双方都是好事。而且，欧盟应该清楚，即便不承认中国 市场经济地位，也要按规定在今年12月11日终止在对华反倾销调查中使用“替代国”做法。

　　欧盟不少做法矛盾突显

　　长期以来，欧盟内部存在一种担忧：承认中国市场经济地位，欧盟将失去反倾销的“筹码”。此次慕尼黑IFO报告对此作出了回应：尽管“承认”中国“市场经济地位”意味着降低反倾销税率，但这么做本身并不会降低欧盟对倾销行为的防御能力。

　　事实上，虽然欧盟依赖“不承认中国市场经济地位”的做法，对中国进行了多项反倾销措施，但其问题与矛盾却显而易见。报告指出，截至2014年底，欧盟尚 在生效的51项针对中国的反倾销措施仅仅涉及到欧盟同中国双边贸易总量的不到2%，但欧盟为了上述不到2%的欧中贸易总量所设置的反倾销措施占了现有反倾 销措施总数的47%。

　　此外，针对德国、意大利、法国和西班牙等国频频支持对中国钢铁、化工等行业发起反倾销，报告指出，并没有明确的证据显示所谓“中国低成本优势或者倾销行为”真的存在。

　　“欧盟之所以会有这么多矛盾的做法，主要还是受贸易保护主义的影响，特别是面对中国有竞争力的产品，欧盟似乎只会拿‘不承认中国市场经济地位’作为他们 反倾销的借口。此外，部分利益集团的‘束缚’也阻碍着欧盟作出正确的决定。”中国国家发展改革委员会对外经济研究所国际合作室主任张建平在接受本报记者采访时说。

　　在张建平看来，由于慕尼黑IFO是应欧洲议会要求向其提交报告，报告能指出这些问题也反映出当前欧盟内部不少国家还是支持承认中国市场经济地位的，这将有助于欧盟在这一问题上作出更加明智的决定。

　　慕尼黑IFO是德国一家独立的、权威性很强的经济研究所，其发表的商业景气指数、德国经济景气预测和经济政策建议等成果受到德国乃至世界各国政府的重视。

　　中国具备市场经济条件

　　欧盟一直不愿承认中国市场经济地位，他们依据的到底是什么标准？对外经济贸易大学法学院教授陈卫东指出，在世界贸易组织（WTO）中，并没有一个关于某 个经济体是市场经济还是非市场经济，从而采取不同待遇的条款。欧美说中国是非市场经济，其实他们依据的不是WTO条款，而是欧美等国的国内法。

　　“很明显，欧美衡量中国是否具有市场经济地位的标准是他们自己单方面定的，而且具体标准是什么，欧美也没有明确的公开说明。当遇到对他们不利的情况时，欧美完全可以根据自己的需要修改标准、法律。”张建平说。

　　中国驻德国大使史明德此前指出，应该看到，这么多年以来，中国社会主义市场经济建设取得了巨大成就。我们认为，无论欧盟承认与否，中国都已具备市场经济条件。

　　欧盟需要认清当前的整体形势。目前，全球已有80多个经济体承认了中国的市场经济地位，其中不乏新西兰、瑞士、澳大利亚等发达经济体。中国也已成为世界第二大经济体、第一大货物贸易国以及130多个国家的最大贸易伙伴。

　　承认与否都要履行义务

　　早日承认中国市场经济地位对欧盟而言好处明显。张建平指出，当前欧洲经济正处于复苏期，仍面临着英国“脱离欧盟”“难民潮”等事件带来的不确定因素，如果能 尽早承认中国市场经济地位，将促使中欧经贸更加健康快速的发展，而考虑到双方巨大的贸易规模，这将有助于帮助欧盟克服当前经济困难，稳固其在世界经济中的 地位。

　　“不给予中国市场经济地位可能威胁中欧投资协定谈判的顺利开展以及中欧自贸协定未来的前景。”中欧数字协会主席路易吉·甘巴尔代 拉表示，中国目前是唯一一个决定向容克投资计划注资的非欧盟国家，通过承认中国市场经济地位，欧盟可以进一步加强与中国的对话，促进欧盟企业在中国的经营 活动，反之，将伤害中欧之间的感情和互信，带来很大的负面影响。

　　“中欧双方加强沟通仍是解决问题的重要渠道，这对于中欧发展及世界经济 复苏都有好处，正在召开的中欧领导人会晤或许可以帮助双方在‘是否承认中国市场经济地位’这一问题上寻求更好的解决方案。”张建平说，但还要特别强调的 是，是否给予中国市场经济地位与履行《中国加入世贸组织议定书》第15条是两码事，不能将二者混为一谈。

　　中国外交部部长王毅此前已明确表 示，当年《议定书》第15条明确规定，世贸组织成员应于2016年12月11日终止在对华反倾销调查中使用“替代国”做法。这是世贸组织所有成员都应遵守 的国际条约义务，不取决于任何成员的国内标准。因此，无论是否给予中国市场经济地位，欧盟作为世贸组织成员，都有履行《议定书》第15条的法律义务，无法 回避和推卸。
