德国正在推迟对一项临时汽车工业协议的最终批准，该协议由德国与法国达成，原因是总理弗里德里希·梅尔茨的联合政府正就汽车制造商的具有约束力的投资和就业承诺展开争执。
Germany is delaying final approval of a provisional auto-industry pact with France as Chancellor Friedrich Merz’s coalition wrangles over binding investment and job commitments from carmakers.
“确实，正在进行非常密集的谈判——我们的目标是推动一项德法倡议，”财政部长拉尔斯·克林格拜尔在曼谷国际货币基金组织年会期间表示。谈判代表正处于“达成协议的最后阶段”，他说。
“Indeed, very intensive talks are under way — our aim is to have a Franco-German initiative,” Finance Minister Lars Klingbeil said on the sidelines of the IMF’s annual meetings in Bangkok. Negotiators are in the “final stretch toward an agreement,” he said.
德国的支持取决于“在生产基地的明确投资承诺以及就业方面的承诺”，克林格拜尔表示。这些保证必须成为协议的一部分，目前仍在讨论中，他补充道。
Germany’s backing depends on “clear commitments on investment at production sites and also on employment,” Klingbeil said. Those assurances must form part of the package and remain under discussion, he added.
法国总统埃马纽埃尔·马克龙表示，协议即将达成。梅尔茨所属的保守派基民盟/基社盟联盟支持与巴黎谈判达成的条款，而克林格拜尔所属的中左翼社会民主党（SPD）则希望制定具有约束力的联合政府承诺，要求汽车制造商在德国进行投资并保障就业，知情人士透露。
French President Emmanuel Macron has said an agreement is close. Merz’s conservative CDU/CSU alliance supports the terms negotiated with Paris, while Klingbeil’s center-left Social Democratic Party, or SPD, wants a binding coalition pledge to require automakers to invest in Germany and protect jobs, according to people familiar with the talks.
该联合倡议旨在为汽车制造商在欧盟二氧化碳规则方面争取更大灵活性，同时加强对全球竞争的防范，尤其是来自中国的竞争。它还涵盖了本地含量要求和“买欧洲”措施。
The joint initiative would seek more flexibility in European Union CO2 rules for automakers while strengthening safeguards against global competition, particularly from China. It also covers local-content requirements and Buy European measures.
“我们不能是天真的，我们不能是愚蠢的，”克林格拜尔表示，指的是不公平的中国贸易做法和补贴出口。“我们也必须在规则方面进行适应，而这就是我们目前在政府内部所做的事情，与法国合作，当然还有在七国集团层面。”此次争执发生在欧盟与中国达成共识几天之后，该共识将把中国制造混合动力汽车的出口量在2027年限制为35万辆，而今年预计约为80万辆。混合动力汽车此前未被纳入欧盟对中国纯电动汽车的2024年关税范围，这有助于出口激增。
“We must not be the naive ones, we must not be the stupid ones,” Klingbeil said, referring to unfair Chinese trade practices and subsidized exports. “We also have to adapt when it comes to the rules, and that is what we are now doing in the government, together with France and, of course, at the G7 level.”The wrangling comes days after the EU and China reached an understanding that would cap China-made hybrid exports at 350,000 vehicles in 2027, compared with about 800,000 expected this year. Hybrids had not been covered by the bloc’s 2024 tariffs on Chinese battery-electric cars, helping shipments surge.
这些措施旨在应对欧洲汽车市场面临的挑战：一方面是中国汽车产品价格更低，另一方面是中国市场的销量正在下滑。法德两国之间的协议虽然能够为相关政策的推进提供政治支持，但并不能彻底解决这些问题；欧盟的汽车排放法规以及《工业加速法案》的修改仍需要各成员国和欧洲议会的共同同意。欧盟领导人希望这些汽车行业改革措施能够在年底前完成。
The measures target an industry squeezed by lower-priced Chinese models in Europe and weakening sales in China. A Franco-German accord would provide political momentum but would not settle the issue: changes to EU car-emissions rules and the Industrial Accelerator Act still require agreement among member states and the European Parliament. EU leaders want the automotive package completed by year-end.
