10月4日：据《泰晤士报》周日报道，鉴于北京正通过国家补贴向市场大量倾销汽车，英国正考虑对中国电动汽车进口征收关税。
Oct 4 : Britain is considering imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicle imports amid concerns that Beijing is flooding the market with state-subsidised cars, the Times newspaper reported on Sunday.
报道称，商务大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹正在制定针对中国车辆进口的潜在关税方案，原因是担忧中国制造商正在向英国“倾销”受补贴的车辆。路透社暂时无法核实该报道。
Business minister Jonathan Reynolds is drawing up a package of potential tariffs on Chinese vehicle imports, the report said, citing concerns that Chinese manufacturers are "dumping" subsidised vehicles into Britain.
当被要求置评时，英国政府发言人告诉路透社，目前尚未对中国电动汽车征收关税。
Reuters could not immediately verify the report.
该发言人表示：“我们继续与行业保持密切沟通，以确保我们的方法符合该行业和英国的国家利益。”
Asked to comment, a spokesperson from the British government told Reuters no tariffs have been imposed on Chinese EVs.
据《泰晤士报》称，英国部长们准备匹配欧盟对中国电动汽车征收的45%关税，以避免“欧洲制造”提案带来的痛苦，该提案可能会影响向欧盟销售产品的英国公司。
"We continue to engage closely with industry so that our approach reflects the sector’s and UK’s national interests," the spokesperson said in an British ministers are ready to match the European Union's 45 per cent levy on Chinese electric cars, the Times said, to avoid the pain of "Made in Europe" proposals, which could impact UK companies selling into the EU.
欧盟的“欧洲制造”政策旨在通过优先使用欧洲制造的产品来减少对中国的零部件依赖，这引发了英国汽车制造商的担忧，因为他们向欧洲制造链供应零部件并在整个欧盟范围内销售车辆。
The EU's "Made in Europe" policy is aimed at reducing reliance on Chinese components by prioritising European-made goods, raising concerns among British automakers that supply parts into European manufacturing chains and sell vehicles across the bloc.
伯纳姆上个月表示，他将主张英国应在拟议的欧盟规则下被视为“可信赖的伙伴”，并警告说将英国排除在外可能会损害其汽车产业。
Burnham said last month he would make the case that Britain should be treated as a "trusted partner" under the proposed EU rules, warning that excluding the UK could damage its car industry.
《金融时报》9月报道称，布鲁塞尔敦促英国首相安迪·伯纳姆更紧密地协调欧盟贸易政策，如果英国希望避免“欧洲制造”壁垒，就应提高对中国汽车的关税。
The Financial Times reported in September that Brussels had urged British Prime Minister Andy Burnham to align more closely with EU trade policy and raise tariffs on Chinese cars if Britain wants to avoid the "made in Europe" barriers.
据《泰晤士报》援引政府高级消息人士的话称，部长们认为，任何关于关税的决定都应基于英国的国家利益，而不是自动跟随欧盟的步伐。
According to the Times, citing senior government sources, ministers believe any decision on tariffs should be based on Britain's national interest rather than automatically following the EU's lead.
