雷诺兹:英国将按本国利益决定对中国电动汽车的关税
英国商业大臣乔纳森·雷诺兹在访问印度期间表示,英国将按本国利益决定是否对中国电动汽车征收关税,而不是因为别国提出要求。这番话回应了欧盟希望英国跟随其征税的压力。

雷诺兹提出以英国利益为准
雷诺兹对《卫报》表示,任何与欧盟相关的贸易防御关税决定都将以英国利益为依据,“而不是因为其他任何国家提出这样的要求”。他没有排除未来某个时候提高关税的可能。他说,这个问题会视产业需要持续评估。
英国对中国制造的汽车只征收标准的10%关税,无论是否为电动汽车。欧盟的关税是在标准10%进口关税之上再加7.8%至35.3%,合计最高可达45.3%。《泰晤士报》报道称,大臣们准备跟随欧盟的45%税率,以避免“欧洲制造”规则带来的损失。路透社表示无法立即核实这一报道。
一位政府发言人表示,目前没有对中国电动汽车征收任何关税。“我们继续与业界保持密切沟通,使我们的做法符合该行业和英国的国家利益,”这位发言人说。
据Carwow援引的SMMT数据,9月英国售出的汽车中近四分之一是中国品牌,Jaecoo 7是当月最畅销车型,注册量超过10800辆。英国迄今没有跟随美国和欧盟加征额外关税。
伯明翰大学商业经济学与产业政策教授戴维·贝利对《镜报》表示,关税会放慢中国品牌的推进速度,但不会让其停下。“这不是繁荣的终结,但可能是轻松日子的终结,”他说。他还说,制造商可能会自行消化大部分成本以保住市场份额,因此买家看到的可能是价格被挤压,而不是大幅跳涨。
欧盟的压力与出口利害
《金融时报》9月报道称,布鲁塞尔敦促英国更紧密地靠拢欧盟贸易政策,如果英国想避免“欧洲制造”规则下的壁垒,就应提高对中国汽车的关税。这些规则偏向欧洲制造的货物。Carwow报道称,今年上半年,欧盟约占英国汽车出口的58%。
SMMT表示,英国与欧盟的汽车贸易关系每年价值约800亿欧元。它还估计,英国汽车生产支撑了欧盟范围内240亿欧元的经济活动和25万个就业岗位。
雷诺兹曾表示,英国汽车业以出口为导向,他必须权衡任何关税决定对英国出口市场的影响以及遭到报复的可能性。《卫报》报道,英国去年向中国出口35000辆汽车,中国是其第三大出口市场,仅次于欧盟和美国。政府希望与欧盟达成协议,使英国制造的汽车不被纳入欧洲关税。根据“欧洲制造”规则,在英国制造并出口到欧洲的电动汽车很可能在明年初受到欧盟关税打击。这些规则要求汽车的大部分零部件来自英国或欧洲。许多制造商从中国进口电池。雷诺兹一直在与欧盟同行讨论这一问题。
英国尚未宣布任何关税决定。
