欧盟原材料贸易战略述评

A Review of EU Trade Strategy of Raw Materials

欧盟推出原材料贸易战略的背景是,欧盟原材料需求对外依存度高,国际范围内原材料获取竞争加剧,原材料贸易限制措施日益盛行。主要目标是确保欧盟在世界市场可持续地、可预见地获取原材料。实施途径包括:借力双边和多边协定,确立贸易规则;利用争端解决机制,应对贸易限制措施;开展对话协商,与相关利益方建立良好关系,推动形成原材料自由贸易的氛围。欧盟原材料战略体现综合应对的特点。欧盟原材料战略对中国有重大影响,需认真研究。

The background of the EU raw materials trade strategy is the high dependency of foreign resources for raw materials, the greatly increased competition of the access to raw materials in international market, and the increasing kinds of export restrictions. The goal of the EU＇s trade strategy is to ensure that the Union can meet its demand for raw materials through a sustainable and predictable supply from world markets under undistorted conditions. The main ways of the strategy are： leveraging bilateral and multilateral agreements to establish rules for trade of raw materials; tackling barriers distorting raw materials markets through existing disputes settlement mechanism, developing and intensifying outreach and diplomatic activities, including bilateral, plurilateral and multilateral dialogues on raw materials with all relevant partners and in all relevant international fora. EU raw materials strategy reflects the integration of EU decision-making and implementation characteristics. EU strategic raw materials have a direct impact on China which should be taken seriously.
