锁定英国被排除在欧盟旗舰工业“欧洲制造”立法之外，将等同于欧盟领导人对整个汽车产业“造成伤害”的“故意选择”，梅赛德斯-奔驰首席执行官表示。
Locking the UK out of the EU’s flagship industrial “Made in Europe” legislation would amount to a “deliberate choice” by EU leaders to “hurt” the car industry across the bloc, the head of Mercedes-Benz has said.
作为欧洲汽车制造商协会（ACEA）主席，奥拉·卡伦尼乌斯表示，此举将“削弱双方的产业”。
Speaking in his capacity as president of the European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association (ACEA), Ola Källenius said such a move would “weaken the industry on both sides”.
他在政治领导人希望就《工业加速器法案》（IAA）达成协议的几周前发表了上述言论，该法案可能使英国汽车工业被排除在欧盟关键合同之外。
He was speaking just weeks before political leaders hope to reach agreement on the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA), potentially keeping the UK car industry out of key contracts in the EU.
该法案被称为“欧洲制造法”，旨在通过抵御欧盟以外的竞争来保护本地产业。
The act, known as the Made in Europe law, aims to protect local industry by countering competition from outside the EU.
其主要目标是中国，中国目前每天对欧盟享有10亿英镑的贸易顺差，但也可能给欧盟的密切盟友带来问题，包括英国、挪威、土耳其和瑞士。
It is mainly aimed at China, which is now enjoying a £1bn a day trade surplus with the EU, but could cause problems for the EU’s close allies including the UK, Norway, Turkey and Switzerland.
“这毫无意义……我们将在英国和欧盟伤害自己的产业。这是一个故意选择，旨在恶化你们自身[欧盟]产业的竞争力，”卡伦尼乌斯在布鲁塞尔的年度汽车产业状况简报会上表示。
“It does not make any sense … We would hurt our industry in the UK and the EU. That would be a deliberate choice to worsen the competitiveness of your own [EU] industry,” Källenius said at an annual briefing in Brussels on the state of the car industry.
“我们正在讨论如何在欧洲实现更多工业化，如何建设本地供应链，这就是IAA的全部内容，”他补充道。
“We are talking about how we industrialise more in Europe, how we build local supply chains, that is what the IAA is all about,” he added.
安迪·伯纳姆一直在努力游说，以将英国纳入“欧洲制造”立法，但遭到阻力，尤其是来自法国的阻力。
Andy Burnham has been lobbying hard to get the UK included in the Made in Europe legislation but is hitting resistance, particularly from France.
首相计划在11月20日的英欧峰会上提出此事，并希望尚未太迟，尽管欧盟领导人计划在12月前就当前文本达成政治协议。
The prime minister intends to raise it at the UK-EU summit on 20 November and is hoping it is not too late, even though EU leaders are aiming for political agreement on the current text by December.
上个月，欧盟敦促英国效仿该集团，对进口的中国汽车征收关税，欧盟于2024年实施了该政策。欧盟认为，这将有助于英国的案例，使其有望被纳入“欧洲制造”，因为这将使英国在关键贸易领域更紧密地与欧盟保持一致。
Last month, the EU urged the UK to follow the bloc and impose tariffs on imported Chinese vehicles, which it introduced in 2024. It argued this would help the UK’s case to be included in Made in Europe as it would align more closely with the EU on key trading sectors.
但英国商务大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹在访问印度期间表示，目前这并不在议程之上。
But the UK business secretary, Jonathan Reynolds, said on a trip to India that this was not on the cards at the moment.
ACEA还在游说，要求紧急暂停对进口到欧盟的英国电动汽车（EV）以及出口到英国的欧盟电动汽车征收10%关税的计划。
The ACEA is also lobbying for an urgent suspension of plans to introduce 10% tariffs on UK electric vehicles (EVs) imported to the EU, and EU EVs exported to the UK.
“我们对此感到非常焦虑。截止日期还有不到三个月。我们在关税问题上已经陷入困境。所有制造商都在担心，”ACEA国际贸易主管乔纳森·奥里奥丹说。
“We are getting very anxious about it. The deadline is in less than three months’ time. We have our feet to the fire in terms of the tariffs. All our manufacturers are worried,” said Jonathan O’Riordan, the ACEA’s international trade director.
该关税时间表写入了脱欧后的《贸易与合作协定》（TCA），作为激励海峡两岸行业加速电池生产的一种方式，而电池成本可占新车成本的约45%。
The tariff schedule is written into the post-Brexit Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA) as a way of incentivising the industry on both sides of the Channel to speed up the production of batteries, which can represent about 45% of the cost of a new car.
根据TCA，如果汽车主要在欧洲制造，则双方的汽车出口可免征关税。但由于欧盟和英国无法生产足够的电动汽车电池以与中国竞争，双方相互出口的汽车将从明年起面临10%的关税。
Under the TCA, car exports on both sides are tariff-free if they are mainly made in Europe, but with the EU and the UK unable to produce sufficient electric batteries to compete with China, cars exported to each other’s market would be subject to a 10% tariff from next year.
该关税原定于2024年生效，但被暂停三年，以给汽车行业更多时间。汽车行业表示，它急需进一步暂停两年或三年。
The tariff was originally due to come into force in 2024 but was suspended for three years to give the car industry more time. The car industry says it needs a further two- or three-year suspension urgently.
与此同时，欧盟在过去三个月里对中国与欧盟的贸易顺差日益担忧，担心贸易壁垒的威胁促成了北京与布鲁塞尔在周五达成的协议：未来四年将混合动力电动汽车的销量减半。
Meanwhile, concern has intensified in the EU in the last three months over China’s trade surplus with the bloc, with a threat of trade barriers leading to an agreement on Friday between Beijing and Brussels to reduce sales of hybrid electric cars by half over four years.
一位官员表示，通过增加欧盟出口来重新平衡贸易的时机已经过去。“无论多少香槟[出口]都无法 revitalise [与中国]的关系，”一位资深欧盟官员在布鲁塞尔的另一场贸易政策简报会上说道。
One official said the time to rebalance trade by increasing EU exports was gone. “No amount of champagne [exports] is going to revitalise the relationship [with China],” a senior EU official told a separate trade policy briefing in Brussels.
