伦敦——英国贸易监督机构在发现国内产业面临受损风险后，建议政府对原产于中国的、用于涂料和纸张的金红石型钛白粉进口征收新的反倾销税。
LONDON -- Britain's trade watchdog has recommended that the government impose new anti-dumping duties on imports of rutile titanium dioxide from China, used in paints and paper, after finding that domestic industry was at risk of harm.
在日益碎片化的全球贸易环境中，英国采取行动保护国内产业。今年早些时候，由于担心来自中国等国家的廉价钢材过剩，英国用一项更严厉的新措施取代了钢铁保障措施。
Britain has acted to protect domestic industries in an increasingly fragmented global trade environment, and earlier this year replaced steel safeguards with a tougher new measure amid concern over a glut of cheap steel from countries like China.
周三，英国贸易救济署（TRA）表示，其对增白剂金红石型钛白粉的调查发现，该产品正以倾销方式进入英国，并对英国本土生产构成了迫在眉睫的损害威胁。
On Wednesday, Britain's Trade Remedies Authority (TRA) said its investigation of rutile titanium dioxide, a whitening agent, found that it was being dumped in Britain from China and there was a imminent threat of injury to U.K. production.
TRA首席执行官杰西卡·布莱克利（Jessica Blakely）和卡门·苏亚雷斯（Carmen Suarez）表示：“我们的调查发现，英国的钛白粉生产行业正面临来自中国倾销进口商品的真实且紧迫的威胁。”
"Our investigation has found that the U.K.'s titanium dioxide production industry faces a real and immediate threat from dumped imports from China," said TRA Chief Executives Jessica Blakely and Carmen Suarez.
“我们今天提出的措施将有助于保护这一英国核心产业，该产业雇用了570多名员工，为国家经济贡献了数百万英镑，并为数百家英国下游企业提供供应。”TRA目前将就其初步建议听取各方反馈，然后向英国商业大臣提交最终建议，由其决定是否征收关税。
"The measure that we have proposed today will help to protect this key UK industry that employs over 570 people, contributes millions to the country's economy and supplies hundreds of downstream U.K. businesses." The TRA will now take feedback on its initial recommendation before making a final recommendation to Britain's business minister, who will take a decision on whether to impose the duties.
英国正在其贸易利益之间寻求微妙的平衡。它与美国达成了一项协议，以避免美国总统唐纳德·特朗普的一些关税；它试图避免某些中国商品的过度供应，同时保持宝贵的出口市场畅通；它还寻求深化与欧盟的合作。
Britain is attempting a delicate balance in its trade interests. It has clinched a deal with the United States to avert some of President Donald Trumps tariffs, sought to avoid oversupply of some Chinese goods while keeping a valuable export market open, and looked to deepen co-operation with the European Union.
英国对中国电动汽车的关税保持评估状态——既不想挑起中国对英国出口商的反弹，同时也希望在寻求加入欧盟提出的“欧洲制造”计划时，减少与欧盟的政策分歧。
It is keeping tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles under review -- not wanting to provoke backlash from China against British exporters while also looking to reduce policy differences with the EU as it seeks access to its proposed "Made in Europe" scheme.
