比利时首相巴特·德韦弗呼吁加强对该国制药和石化行业的保护，认为来自美国和中国的压力正在威胁欧洲工业，尽管这些行业具有竞争力，公共广播公司VRT报道。
Belgian Prime Minister Bart De Wever has called for stronger protection of the country's pharmaceutical and petrochemical sectors, arguing that pressure from the US and China is threatening European industries despite their competitiveness, public broadcaster VRT reported.
在周四于布鲁塞尔举行的欧盟峰会边会上，德韦弗表示，制药巨头葛兰素史克计划的重组可能导致比利时超过1200个岗位流失，这与该公司需要增加对美国的投资有关。
Speaking on the sidelines of the European Union summit in Brussels on Thursday, De Wever said the planned restructuring at pharmaceutical giant GSK, which could result in more than 1,200 job losses in Belgium, was linked to the company's need to increase investments in the US.
“当你有一位美国总统强制要求在美国投资，并拒绝再进口任何疫苗时，葛兰素史克这样的公司就会陷入困境，”德韦弗说。
"When you have an American president who mandates investment in the US and refuses to import any more vaccines, companies like GlaxoSmithKline run into difficulties," De Wever said.
德韦弗强调，比利时的石化行业需要保护，警告该行业面临严峻挑战，且尤其脆弱。
De Wever stressed that Belgium's petrochemical industry required protection, warning that the sector faced serious challenges and was particularly vulnerable.
这位首相还批评了中国在临床试验中的做法，称其为有大量国家补贴支持的不公平竞争。
The premier also criticized China's practices in clinical trials, describing them as unfair competition backed by substantial state subsidies.
他主张，欧盟必须加强其内部市场，同时制定措施保护欧洲工业免受不公平的外部竞争。
He argued that the EU must strengthen its internal market while developing measures to protect European industries against unfair external competition.
据德韦弗称，整合欧洲市场和保护它必须同步进行，同时避免过度保护主义。
According to De Wever, integrating the European market and protecting it must go hand in hand, while avoiding excessive protectionism.
“只有当我们拥有一个统一的市场，才能通过避免毫无意义的保护主义陷阱来保护它。我们不应效仿他人的愚蠢之举，”他说。
"Only when we have a unified market will we be able to protect it by avoiding the pitfalls of senseless protectionism. We must not copy the follies of others," he said.
这位首相承认，欧洲的决策速度不如大国，但这反映了该集团的民主结构。“但欧洲不是独裁国家。它不是一个总统可以在周一决定一件事，周三决定相反的事情，周五又决定另一件事的国家，”他说。
The premier acknowledged that European decision-making was slower than that of major powers, but said this reflected the bloc's democratic structure. "But Europe is not a dictatorship. It is not a country where one president can decide one thing on Monday, the opposite on Wednesday, and something else again on Friday," he said.
