法国已放弃反对英国纳入欧盟“欧洲制造”立法的立场，前提是英国政府在对中国电动汽车征收关税问题上与欧盟立场保持一致。
France has dropped its opposition to the UK being included in the EU’s “Made in Europe” legislation as long as the British government aligns with the bloc’s position over tariffs on Chinese EVs.
周四，法国转而支持德国，为安迪·伯纳姆带来突破。德国一向支持英国的呼吁，即将英国指定为《工业加速法案》中的欧洲国家。该立法目前处于草案阶段，旨在保护本国制造业免受廉价中国竞争的冲击。
In a breakthrough for Andy Burnham, France on Thursday came round to backing Germany, which has always supported the UK’s calls to be designated European for the purposes of the Industrial Accelerator Act. The legislation, which is in its draft stage, is designed to protect domestic manufacturing from cheap Chinese competition.
据《卫报》看到的一份联合法德文件，两国现在提议，就汽车行业而言，英国可以被纳入“欧洲制造”。
According to a joint Franco-German paper seen by the Guardian, the two countries are now proposing that for the car industry specifically the UK could be included in Made in Europe.
文件中明确提到英国，称“就汽车行业而言，‘欧洲制造’应包括欧盟27国，并可选择进一步纳入截至2020年1月1日仍是欧盟单一市场成员的欧洲伙伴，前提是达成完全互惠协议——即采用与汽车行业相关的欧洲优惠方案”。英国在2020年1月仍作为欧盟成员国处于单一市场之中。
“For the automotive sector, ‘Made in Europe’ should comprise the EU27 and an opt-in to further include European partners who were part of the EU single market as of 01/01/2020, subject to an agreement on full reciprocity – i.e. adopting the European preference scheme relevant to the automotive sector,” it says in a clear reference to the UK, which was still in the single market as an EU member in January 2020.
该文件还称，挪威也将被纳入，挪威处于单一市场中，但不是欧盟成员国。
It would also include Norway, which is in the single market but not a member of the EU.
文件补充称，这一选择加入机制将附带条件，包括在贸易防御措施方面保持一致，这些措施包括欧盟2024年对中国电动汽车征收的关税，以及任何未来的贸易壁垒，例如欧盟正在与中国就其混合动力汽车出口最终敲定的配额协议。
The paper added that the opt-in would come with conditions, including alignment on trade defence measures, which have included tariffs on Chinese EVs imposed by the EU in 2024 and any future trade barriers, such as the quota deal being finalised with China on its exports of hybrid cars.
文件称，这些“选择加入”国家除了接受相关反规避措施外，还必须接受“对欧盟关于第三国投资的条件以及相关欧盟贸易防御措施进行动态对齐”。
The paper says that “as well as relevant anti-circumvention measures”, these “opt-in” countries would have to accept “dynamic alignment on the EU’s conditions related to third countries’ investments and on relevant EU trade defence measures”.
英国商业、创新、科学和贸易委员会主席利亚姆·伯恩表示，他认为在贸易防御措施方面与欧盟保持一致，是拯救英国制造业所付出的一小笔代价。
Liam Byrne, the chair of the UK’s business, innovation, science and trade committee, said he believed aligning with the EU on trade defence measures was a small price to pay to save British manufacturing.
“有时候政治是最不坏的选择——在贸易防御问题上与欧洲站在一起，以应对过度补贴的中国，这是我们为所有人服务的方式，”他说。
“Sometimes politics is the least worst choice – aligning with Europe on trade defence against an over-subsidised China is the way we deliver for all of us,” he said.
“对这些征收关税将是为保护欧洲制造业而付出的微小代价，该制造业保障了英国供应链中的就业，并使我们在未来更不易受到中国的胁迫。”周三，梅赛德斯的负责人恳求欧盟领导人允许英国加入该方案。
“Tariffs on these would be a small price to pay for the protection of a European manufacturing industry which safeguards jobs across supply chains in the UK and makes us less prone to coercion from China in the future.”On Wednesday the head of Mercedes implored EU leaders to let the UK join the package.
梅赛德斯-奔驰的负责人表示，将英国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的“故意选择”，旨在“伤害”整个集团的汽车工业。
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 said.
几周来，英国一直面临压力，要求在对华汽车关税问题上与欧盟保持一致，但本周，商务部长乔纳森·雷诺兹表示，他不会被迫与欧盟的政策保持一致。
The UK has been under pressure for weeks to align with the EU on tariffs on Chinese vehicles, but this week the business secretary Jonathan Reynolds said he would not be coerced into aligning with the EU’s policy.
然而，政府一直渴望被纳入《欧洲制造》方案，担心如果英国被排除在欧盟供应链之外，汽车行业可能会损失数十亿英镑的贸易。
However the government has been desperate to be included in the Made in Europe package, fearing billions of pounds of trade in the car industry could be lost if the UK was locked out of supply chains in the EU.
周四早些时候，贸易大臣阿纳斯·萨瓦尔暗示，英国倾向于在关税问题上保持一致。
Earlier on Thursday trade minister Anas Sarwar hinted that the UK was minded to align on tariffs.
他对《政客》表示，英国和欧盟必须“共同合作、步调一致”以应对中国在汽车领域的主导地位。
He told Politico the UK and the EU must “work together and act in lockstep” to tackle China’s dominance in the automotive sector.
欧洲议会有影响力的国际贸易委员会主席贝尔德·朗格告诉《卫报》，英国“理应”被纳入《欧洲制造》立法，并称法国的反对“不合理”。
Bernd Lange, the chair of the European parliament’s influential international trade committee, told the Guardian the UK should “of course” be included in the Made in Europe legislation, calling France’s opposition “not rational”.
唐宁街发言人表示，他们尚未看到细节，但认为这一发展是积极的。“这是一个法德提案，欧洲仍有流程需要走，但如果得到确认，我们欢迎将英国纳入《工业加速器法案》的目标，这将是英国汽车工业及其在全英支持的就业和投资的好消息。”
A Downing Street spokesperson said it had yet to see the detail but saw the development as positive. “This is a Franco-German proposal and there is still a European process to run, but if confirmed, we welcome the objective to have UK included in the Industrial Accelerator Act and this would be good news for the British automotive industry and the jobs and investment it supports across the UK.”
