东京 —— 日本首相高市早苗计划在周三与德国总理弗里德里希·默茨会晤时，要求将欧盟对电动汽车的优惠待遇扩大至日本产品。
TOKYO -- Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi plans to ask that European Union preferential treatment for electric vehicles be extended to Japanese products when German Chancellor Friedrich Merz meets with her on Wednesday.
欧盟执行机构欧盟委员会于3月宣布的《产业加速法案》，可能导致日本车企销量大幅下滑。
Japanese automakers could face a significant decline in sales under the Industrial Accelerator Act announced in March by the European Commission, the EU's executive body.
该法案将自主组装和一定比例的本地生产零部件作为电动汽车补贴和政府采购的条件。如果欧盟敲定德法提案，丰田汽车等日本制造商将在市场上处于重大劣势。
The act makes in-house assembly and a certain percentage of locally produced parts a condition for EV subsidies and public procurement. If the EU finalizes the German-French proposal, Japanese manufacturers such as Toyota Motor would be at a major disadvantage in the market.
高市早苗计划在会晤中敦促默茨，将在日本制造的成品车纳入优惠待遇计划。随着欧盟即将就优惠待遇展开实质性讨论，她意在推动德国转达日本的立场。
Takaichi plans to urge Merz to include finished vehicles manufactured in Japan in the preferential treatment program during their meeting. With the EU set to begin serious discussions on preferential treatment, she intends to encourage Germany to convey Japan's position.
日本经济产业大臣赤泽亮正周二在记者会上表示，将强烈敦促欧盟重新考虑排除日本产品的做法，希望欧盟制造的电动汽车与日本制造的电动汽车得到平等对待。他表示，日本各级官员都将向欧盟传达关切。
At a news conference Tuesday, Japanese Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Ryosei Akazawa said he would strongly urge the EU to reconsider the exclusion, wanting EU-made EVs and Japanese-made EVs to be treated equally. He said Japanese officials of all levels would convey their concerns to the EU.
欧盟委员会的提案将于明年在欧盟委员会、欧洲议会和欧盟理事会的三方会议上讨论。
The European Commission's proposal will be discussed at a trilateral meeting with the European Parliament and the Council of the European Union in the new year.
据一位高级官员透露，日本经济产业省认为，要推翻德法之间的协议将很困难。目标是在三方会议阶段，努力确保日本被纳入优惠待遇计划。
METI believes it will be difficult to overturn the agreement between Germany and France, according to a senior official. The aim is to work toward ensuring Japan is included in the preferential treatment program at the trilateral meeting stage.
日德车企通过联合开发等合作建立了关系。近年来，为应对中国的崛起，日本与欧盟加强了供应链合作。如果日本产品被排除在优惠待遇之外，这些关系恐将受到影响。
Japanese and German automakers have built a relationship through joint development and other collaborations. In recent years, Japan and the EU have strengthened supply chain cooperation in response to the rise of China. If Japanese products are excluded from preferential treatment, those relationships will likely be affected.
根据欧洲汽车制造商协会的数据，日本汽车制造商去年在欧盟共销售140万辆汽车，其中包括电动汽车。丰田销量最高，为79.8万辆，其次是日产汽车，销量19.3万辆，铃木汽车销量15万辆，马自达汽车销量11.9万辆。
According to the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association, Japanese carmakers sold a total 1.4 million vehicles in the EU last year, including EVs. Toyota had the highest sales at 798,000, followed by Nissan Motor with 193,000, Suzuki Motor at 150,000 and Mazda Motor with 119,000.
日德首脑会谈还将涵盖人工智能和网络安全措施等经济安全问题，以及先进技术和国防装备领域的合作。为期两天的访问将是默茨自2025年5月出任总理以来的首次访问。
The Japan-Germany summit will also cover economic security issues such as AI and cybersecurity measures, as well as cooperation in advanced technologies and defense equipment. The two-day visit will Merz's first since becoming chancellor in May 2025.
