European Union is that the 21 centuries worlds are important one pole. So far, European Union’s attention readjusts oneself to a certain extent mainly on the economy integration construction. At present, European Union is accelerated from economy integration to politics , economic judicature, and safe all-round integration transit, the way being to advance gradually in due order from the easier to the more advanced,and the method of work being based on condition , adjusting in time adopting. Future European Union will bring the more and more important effect into play in area and international affairs , the change to 21 centuries pattern of the world produces very important effect. To here, we need to have sober understanding. Introduction relevance background and the data have used the main body of a book first found the marriage partner and system studying , have started with four aspect and then , have set forth European Union the prospect and problem working together going to China and European Union in position , European Union integration course in Chinese foreign trade respectively , have brought forward suggestion and countermeasure to here.

Area politics , economic group “being that in the nowadays world integration degree is maximal organize [keyword] European Union integration Chinese foreign trade [relevance data and background] European Union (be called “European Union E U for short). Whose predecessor is European Communities , is European Economic Community , coal steel community and general designation of atomic energy community.
Go into effect in November , 1993, “European Union treaty ” fit “Maastricht Treaty “), European Communities evolves for European Union. Now have 25 member state: France , Germany , Italy , Holland , Belgium , Luxembourg (the founding country) , United Kingdom , Denmark , Ireland (put in in 1973) , Greece (1981) , Spain , Portugal (1986) , Austria , Finland and Sweden (1995) , Poland , Hungary , Czech , Slovenia , Slovakia , Estonia , Latvia , Lithuania , Cyprus and Malta (2003), have formed a big unified scale marketplaces equal to USA.
On May 6 , 1975, China and European Economic Community build formal relation. On November 1 , 1983, China builds formal relation with European Coal and Steel Community and European Atomic Energy Community. So far, China and European Communities realization establish full diplomatic relations. European Union successively “concerns long range policy and “the to China new strategy of European Union” document by Chinese- European Union” in 1995 and in 1996, emphasize to should take the Chinese effect and effect seriously especially , adopt “constructive the strategy getting in touch with, reinforces both sides cooperation and conversation in economy and trade and their his each fields, Shenou alliance policy on China of equal importance completeness , independent character and protracted nature. In 1998, European Union has adopted a few further improving to China relation measure: No longer, decision brings forward the motion signing specifically for Chinese or unites on human rights meeting of the united nations; Revise anti-dumping regulation , China be stricken off “non-market economy “national list middle; The new document by policy on China “found all-round partnership with China” advocates that lifting Mitteleuropa relation is horizontal , deepens the both sides cooperation in each fields and communicates with, support China to join WTO.
In recent years, Mitteleuropa political relation is fine, high-rise exchange visits all of the various levels politics frequently, consults with actively. Chinese leaders has visited European Union a little member state respectively , major leaders of European Union member country have also successively visited China. Country United Kingdom premier Blair , European Union chairman of the committee Sangte have held Premier 4 month in 1998 , Zhu Rong Ji in London and the chairman of European Union first, the leader of Chinese- European Union meets, and issued a joint statement, Mitteleuropa founds the long-term stability constructive partnership being oriented toward the 21st century right away reaching consensus , institutionalization with leader year meeting. Besides, China and European Union and their member state has carried out the politics being unlike rank consulting with and having a dialogue , Chinese National People’s Congress and Political Consultative Conference have kept the regular association with european parliament and ECOSOC of European Union.
China and European Union relation already step into the orbit that all-round health develops. Make a general observation of development late years course, comparing with Sino-U. S. relation, Mitteleuropa relation has the obvious stability and rise. Fifth policy on China documents that European Union works out lately, the request and China develop strategic partnership. In October , 2003, the Chinese government works out and announces “Chinese for the first time to European Union policy documents “, have set forth the Chinese policy to European Union all round.

European Union is one of the most important cooperation of Chinese buddy one, since our country and European Union establish diplomatic relations since 1975 , bilateral trade and the economic cooperation develop with hitherto unknown speed. The data is indicated, the both sides total volume of trade has been about 200,000,000 U. S. dollar only in 1975 , has reached but 40,340,000,000 U. S. dollar then in 1995 , has grown by 21 times during the about 2 years. European Union also is increasing to European Union in 2000 anticorona, direct investments accumulated forehead year by year to investment of our country almost 40 billion U. S. dollar. But relatively Er Yan , bilateral trade overall the scale is not still big , about 1 European Union member state total volume of trade still is lower than USA and Japan. In 2002 Mitteleuropa bilateral trade already amounts to 86,700,000,000 U. S. dollar. 1 already exceeds 89 billion U. S. dollar till September in 2003, exceeds 4 tenths with the ratio. European Union already have become Chinese third big trade buddies after , living in Japan , USA , before Chinese Hong Kong.
European Union investment in China fervency rises high. Always investment project number and volume of contracted foreign capital row Hong Kong area, Japan, USA, Korea Republic afterwards column fifth but the person to China direct investments project appear out average scale big, fully-funded rates high technology, contents high, economy and social benefits good and so on characteristic. Sound familiar west of Chinese the Pacific Ocean petroleum and chemical , law country laugh because good fortune , Germany benefit projects such as the Bohai Sea you , Sweden Ericsson , are that China cooperates with European Union’s success.
Besides, China introduces dynamics from European Union technology enlarge. The European Union member country becomes Chinese introduction of new technology , maximal equipment supplier.

Two, the European Union integration course goes to China and European Union economy and trade cooperation prospect European Union assumes that in 21 centuries medium term, the surrounding countries expanding European Economic Area to Eastern Europe and Southern Europe, establishes Europe “satisfying Europe Economic Union “; In May , 2003, 10 the country such as Poland , Hungary , Czech , Slovenia , Slovakia , Estonia , Latvia , Lithuania , Cyprus and Malta etc. becomes European Union’s new member state formally. European Union that beyond doubt, a new’s has expanded will will be boundless becoming business machine land of happiness. New European Union population increases from now 370 million to 480 million , overall scale will equal to USA. A big unified marketplaces of so-called scale, be any enterprise have no way to ignore.
European Union expands the most direct benefit, lessening being these new member state customs tariff. Entrance customs duties is at present , newcomer the country’s without exception common European Union is high comparatively. For instance, Poland and Hungary share entrance customs duties to being not that agricultural products is put into effect, respectively for 19.9% and 9.8%, but European Union’s average level only have 7.4%. The customs duties lessening, is conducive to Chinese enterprise beyond doubt expand exports.
Customs duties obj1 = ” 位” ? exchanges the product descending but receiving favour especially to Chinese enterprise Er Yan , because of entering alliance including clock and watch , toy , game , motion articles for use and imitation jewelry , customs duties is in 5% following without exception because of European Union is put into effect to these products. The tax rate that Eastern Europe collects in every country is but higher but. Take maximal Poland of 10 countries middle as example , be national wrist watch customs duties height’s turn to amount to 20%- 35%, height also amounts to 21% imitation jewelry tax rate. It is crystal clear that eastern european countries allocates low customs duties after entering alliance ,will be conducive to the Chinese product expand sales.
Behind joining European Union, as long as the standard gains the attestation Chinese product according to European Union, be therefore likely the country is approved in the newcomer. This enumerates and is confined to not only the electron and electric equipment products, include other multiclass consumer goods and food. The technical standards unification, also may be conducive to Chinese enterprise make rubbings from the national marketplace of exhibition newcomer although the product having increased China to a certain extent enters the marketplace degree of difficulty, more, sell but get bigger scale merit in Western Europe and market of eastern europe because the product can be simultaneous.
European Union’s expansion, implies China being able to gain Puhui from more countries making pay. Puhui makes namely “GSP “, is that the developed country gives developing country outlet one kind of tariff preference system of finished products and crude product (include some primary product). Puhui makes lower exports of item customs duties should be about 1/3 retinue lower than most-favoured-nation tax rate averagely. But at present, 15 countries of European Union belong to equally to the favor country, the newcomer makes pay in the country only when Poland , Czech and Siluo attack 3 gram of countries giving China Puhui. European Union expands the queen , all newcomers capital will give China the finished products uttering , crude product Puhui makes pay, customs duties gives preferential treatment to this pair of Chinese enterprise enjoyment , the beneficial result expanding exports , raising outlet has certain benefit.
Euro may enjoy national treatment after Euro circulates especially, after external capital of area entering Euro area , have made the capital metastasis in Euro area convenient and rapid a lot of , have attraction very much to chinese entrepreneurs. Be rich in the charm tourist market as for Mitteleuropa is extensive , admit large amount of Ou Zhong visitor , be also to be able to foresee.
Have originated from the open integration of step-by-step trend of European Union pattern formally , have adjusted self poolicy orientation also unceasingly despite of European Union organizes breathing spaces, but its adopting the route expanding member state’s afterwards mainly expanding self in cold war as a institutionalization integration , successively having worked out new trend Asia strategy and the document founding all-round partnership with our country , have shown European Union taking seriously to the relation carrying out with Asia every country, especially this has enormous potential marketplace taking seriously to our country Xin Xing.
The 6th time of Mitteleuropa leader meets at Beijing on October 30 , 2003, hold. China side brings forward 2007 , Mitteleuropa bilateral volume of trade arrives at to make every effort to reach 150 billion U. S. dollar, reach 200 billion U. S. dollar in 2013. The first big trade and investment buddy European Union is reaffirmed needing to become China (be each other’s third big trade partners at present). In above-mentioned “China, in policy documents “, we already have indicated that to European Union: Expect that European Union becomes maximal trade of Chinese and invests in a buddy. For this purpose, China will concentrate efforts on the economy and trade cooperation relation developing “rich Mitteleuropa vigour and long-term stability. Under the both sides effort, European Union becomes maximal trade of Chinese and investing in a buddy is completely possible.

Technical standards of technical standards of Chinese more strict with European Union economy and trade cooperation problem being confronted with in integration course in European Union frontage European Union is numerous and complicated three, almost relates to all entrance products. In recent years, European Union is concealing when raising a trade wall all comparatively , is sometimes is putting banners such as technical standards , health quarantine , environmental protection, height builds non-tariff barrier. But, eastern european countries relaxes in the past relatively comparatively in the field of these. After but European Union expands, new member state also is able to adopt the European Union standard , leads into these being not customs duties character trade restrictions measure. Enter the alliance queen , new member state must adopt technical standards of European Union currently in effect, and in connection with healthy and safe regulation. For instance, European Union requires that the entrance product gains “denotational EC technology attestation mostly, one this demanding to will apply to new member state also. In fact, new member state is following the example of unified Euro-product of European Union regulation step by step during the past the past few years , includes organization , normalizing and marketplace supervision appraising organization , attestation etc. among them.
Every time European Union revises or adjusts some kind product technical standards since Chinese product standard of the products is relatively lower,sometimes bring about comparatively big impingement the city’s export to Chinese product. Enumerate several examples handily. European Union forbids selling the clothing containing azo-dye not too long before passing , forbids using an array to may bring about the chemical fertilizer contaminating to the environment , having caused no small effects on Chinese relevance estate. The electron product used and scrap being put into effect soon handles European Union preparing chemical products regulation , the effect to Chinese product is also very big. According to expert what predicted one direct merely the electron product used and scrap handles law and regulation , will make electron product’s export to European Union such as Chinese colour TV , computer display cut down 20% or so right away.
European Union’s anti-dumping measure foreign trade to Chinese Er Yan , European Union’s anti-dumping lets person have a headache more. At present, cigarette lighter , shoe kind and electric iron oppose the dumping outside except Poland to Chinese pocket size , most newcomer countries are not similar with at present to Chinese product acting. After but, the newcomer enters alliance, will lead into European Union’s anti-dumping measure equally. Need to know China is a maximal anti-dumping of European Union target. European Union implements trade protection 38 batches in total to my exports according to most new statistics, at present , 37 gets anti-dumping among them case , 1 gets guarantee measure case , relates to much industry products such as my five ore , chemical industry , spinning and weaving , electromechanical , soil livestock. Since these Chinese products need to pay same dumping duty when entering 10 newcomer countries on May 1 , 2003 the day afer tomorrow also,the exit cost definitely enlarging Chinese enterprise, is able to lead to a few Chinese products be forced to withdraw from being hit by market of eastern europe even.
The agreement will lose effect European Union expanding with the bilateral trade that countries such as middle Eastern Europe signs , will deals with a problem , will is that the bilateral trade agreement that China signs before this with countries such as middle Eastern Europe will lose an effect. Be that push bilateral trade has developed , China and a lot of middle eastern european countries have signed the bilateral trade agreement offering mutual benefit and achieving common progress. These agreements will automatically cease to be in force after these countries join European Union , will affirm that enterprise has some of adverse effects to China.
Export mix of our country is strong with Central and Eastern European countries parallel approximation , competitiveness. The western European country is to make use of advantage such as Eastern Europe low-priced workforce , East and West Europe geographical feature approximation especially in recent years, sets up a factory in large amount to eastern european countries investment , waits for the developing country competition Central and Eastern European countries having aggravated more in the field of industrial products with China. Being let person worry about more, since middle eastern european countries competition is relatively weaker, once entering alliance, they will for self’s benefit, drive European Union who expands the day afer tomorrow’s to enter port to being not member domestic products interposing more obstacles, China may become the main victim.
In the inside of European Union, China of overall inharmonious with member state part is very different from develop the economic and trade relationship and China and other unitary country of European Union occurrence economic and trade relationship. Chinese ask trade policy to face unified trade policy of European Union not only, and also ask to face every European Union member state’s. European Union is the regional trade bloc , every member state economic development is unbalanced , some are more similar than exports and Chinese exports country who falls behind and area’s , therefore, European Union’s product portion may be digested away inside european union Chinese outlet right away , restricts Chinese’s export to European Union thereby. Meanwhile, European Union member state adopt European Union to unite fixed regulation when entering port generally , inclination Yu adopt every more nimble member state regulation but then when uttering , reaches the market force expanding exports , protecting in the homeland thereby. This comes to say to China , definitely is able to improve the cost entering the European Union marketplace.

Countermeasure and suggestion compensate negotiation four, aspect in trade , every industry associations should produce a marked effect European Union’s expansion, is to imply European Union this one free-trade zone and the customs union expansion. But be based on WTO regulation: Customs union or free-trade zone member, to the customs duties that the third party carries out comparing with other trade law and regulation, generally not to overtop or level before strict Yu customs union or free-trade zone building-up. This also implies , enterprise produces if European Union expands to China an adverse effect, China is entitled to require that European Union carries out compensation. USA , Japan and countries such as Russia already compensate problem the negotiation having spread out at present with European Union with regard to trade. Department of Commerce joins also already China to this one ranks. But the official concerned that however, European Union trade always attends to is expressed, European Union hopes that the problem is in progress at this point with China side discuss that, think that European Union expands producing active effect to Chinese enterprise population General, European Union carries out compensation unnecessarily, unless China side’s viewpoint can be confirmed. Since China is that the compensation carrying out trade negotiates with other trade bloc first, before negotiation experience, respond to the field and material relating that prepare, especially various trade data preparation aspect is all a little bit insufficient. China needs in the field of foreign trade negotiation and international community receives a track, need to pay attention to giving full scope to various industry associations especially.
Trade negotiation involves in expanding extremely face to face , Department of Commerce who is government departments certainly needs to bring into play taking the lead effect. But a import and export condition having the industry associations that the effect operates to know our industry in fact especially, because of this involves in one’s immediate or vital interests of enterprise. The country , industry associations are working out relevance law and regulation in Europe and America in defending our industry benefit, the aspect affecting government decision-making is bringing the important effect into play. Unfortunate being , China at present industry associations many belong to accurate government departments , enterprise is not composed of spontaneously voluntarily, the effect being able to bring into play is also pretty limited. Therefore Chinese industry associations ought to bring into full play mutually between harmonize an effect.
Put trade and interactive strategy of investment into practice in China and European Union’s trade, China always is in favourable balance state , European Union is in adverse balance of trade state. Chinese’s export to European Union may continue increasing by after adding WTO, imbalance in trade condition probably continues maintaining. Chinese enterprise enters European Union marketplace way and rate war strategy rapidly with trade , that exceedingness is vigilant against and adopt corresponding protection very easy to arouse European Union, makes China convey Europe product cost rising thereby. Respond to the problem studying China enters European Union marketplace way for this purpose , right away. Theory and practice are being indicated equally , there are existing the rapid and intense relevance in trade and investment, while direct trade cost rises, investment the best way it is marketplace to enter. At present, China still belongs to blank space to European Union’s investment , way enters and trade method enters Chinese to European Union marketplace with investment to look like not balancing exceedingly, this definitely brings about Chinese product extremely large vulnerability in European Union marketplace. Therefore, China responds to while continuing expanding export to Europe, be accelerated the investment step to European Union.
Reinforce the association , exchange visits with European Union , enhance the acceleration knowing with European Union integration course, China ought to strengthen associating with , to reinforce mutual high-rise exchange visits with European Union, to enhance each other acquaintances; Found the intermediary organizations courting the business network , making use of a local, channel making use of diplomatic and consular missions and the amicable city to broaden move merchant; Develop the strategic partnership having the strength company with European Union; Fully utilize Chinese self’s industrial advantages, strengthens competition in one new wheel opening policy.

  1. 欧盟一体化进程对中国对外贸易的影响 【摘要】
    欧盟是21世纪世界重要的一极。迄今为止,欧盟的注意力主要放在经济一体化的建设上。目前欧盟正加快从经济一体化向政治、经济、司法和安全全面一体化过渡,采取的是由易到难,循序渐进的办法,并根据情况,及时调整做法。未来欧盟将在地区和国际事务中发挥越来越重要作用,对21世纪世界格局的变化产生非常重要的影响。对此我们需要有清醒的认识。本文先引入相关背景和资料以建立研究的对象与体系,然后从四方面入手,分别阐述了欧盟在中国对外贸易中的地位、欧盟一体化进程下中国与欧盟的合作前景及问题,并对此提出了建议与对策。

    【关键词】欧盟一体化 中国对外贸易

    【相关资料及背景】
    欧洲联盟(简称“欧盟 E U“)是当今世界一体化程度最高的区域政治、经济集团组织。其前身是欧洲共同体,即欧洲经济共同体、煤钢共同体和原子能共同体的统称。
    1993年11月,《欧洲联盟条约》(又称《马斯特里赫特条约》)生效,欧共体演化为欧洲联盟。现有25个成员国:法国、德国、意大利、荷兰、比利时、卢森堡(创始国)、英国、丹麦、爱尔兰(1973年加入)、希腊(1981年)、西班牙、葡萄牙(1986年)、奥地利、芬兰和瑞典(1995年)、波兰、匈牙利、捷克、斯洛文尼亚、斯洛伐克、爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、塞浦路斯和马耳他(2003年),形成了一个规模与美国不相上下的统一大市场。
    1975年5月6日,中国与欧洲经济共同体建立正式关系。1983年11月1日,中国与欧洲煤钢共同体和欧洲原子能共同体建立正式关系。至此,中国与欧共体实现全面建交。1995年和1996年,欧盟先后通过《中国-欧盟关系长期政策》和《欧盟对华新战略》文件,强调应更加重视中国的作用和影响,采取“建设性接触“的战略,加强双方在经贸及其他各个领域的合作与对话,并重申欧盟对华政策的全面性、独立性和长期性。1998年,欧盟进一步采取了一些改善对华关系的措施:决定在联合国人权会议上不再提出或联署针对中国的提案;修改反倾销规则,将中国从“非市场经济“国家名单中删除;通过《与中国建立全面伙伴关系》的对华政策新文件,主张提升中欧关系水平,深化双方在各个领域的合作与交流,支持中国加入世贸组织。
    近年来,中欧政治关系良好,高层互访频繁,各级政治磋商活跃。中国领导人分别访问了欧盟一些成员国,欧盟国家多数领导人也先后访华。1998年4 月,朱镕基总理在伦敦与欧盟主席国英国首相布莱尔、欧盟委员会主席桑特举行了首次中国-欧盟领导人会晤,并发表联合声明,就中欧建立面向21世纪的长期稳定的建设性伙伴关系达成共识,将领导人年度会晤机制化。此外,中国同欧盟及其成员国开展了不同级别的政治磋商和对话,中国人大和政协与欧洲议会及欧盟经社理事会保持了正常的交往。
    中国和欧盟关系已步入全面健康发展的轨道。纵观近年的发展历程,与中美关系比较,中欧关系具有明显的稳定性和上升性。欧盟最近制订的第五份对华政策文件,要求与中国发展战略伙伴关系。2003年10月,中国政府第一次制订并公布《中国对欧盟政策文件》,全面地阐述了中国对欧盟的政策。

    一、欧盟是中国最重要的合作伙伴之一
    我国与欧盟自从1975年建立外交关系以来,双边贸易和经济合作以前所未有的速度发展。资料表明,1975年双方的贸易总额仅为24亿美元,而1995年则达到403.4亿美元,25年间增长了21倍。欧盟对我国的投资也在逐年增加,到2000年欧盟对华直接投资累计额近400亿美元。但是相对而言,双边贸易总体规模尚不大,欧盟15个成员国的贸易总额仍低于美国和日本。2002年中欧双边贸易已达867亿美元。2003年1至9月,已超过 890亿美元,同比超过4成。欧盟已成为中国第三大贸易伙伴,居日本、美国之后,中国香港之前。
    欧盟来华投资热情高涨。尽管投资项目数和合同外资额排在香港地区、日本、美国、韩国之后列第五位,但其对华直接投资的项目呈现出平均规模大、资金到位率高、技术含量高、经济和社会效益好等特点。中国人耳熟能详的西太平洋石化、法国家乐福、德国利渤海尔、瑞典爱立信等项目,都是中国与欧盟的成功合作。
    此外,中国从欧盟技术引进力度加大。欧盟国家成为中国引进技术、设备的最大供应者。

    二、欧盟一体化进程下中国与欧盟经贸合作的前景
    欧盟设想在21世纪中期,把欧洲经济区扩展到东欧和南欧的周边国家,把欧洲建成“全欧洲经济联盟“;2003年5月,波兰、匈牙利、捷克、斯洛文尼亚、斯洛伐克、爱沙尼亚、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、塞浦路斯和马耳他等10国正式成为欧盟的新成员国。毫无疑问,一个新的扩大了的欧盟将会成为商机无限的乐土。新欧盟人口将由现在的3.7亿增加至4.8亿,整体规模将与美国不相上下。如此规模的一个统一的大市场,是任何企业都无法忽视的。
    欧盟扩大最直接的好处,便是这些新成员国关税税率的降低。目前,新成员国的进口关税均普遍较欧盟为高。例如,波兰及匈牙利对非农产品实施的平均进口关税,分别为19.9%和9.8%,而欧盟的平均水平只有7.4%。关税的降低,无疑有助于中国企业扩大出口。
    对中国企业而言,因入盟关税调降而特别受惠的产品包括钟表、玩具、游戏、运动用品和人造首饰,因为欧盟对这些产品实施的关税均在5%以下。而东欧各国征收的税率却较高。以10国中最大的波兰为例,该国的手表关税高达20%—35%,人造首饰的税率也高达21%。显而易见,东欧国家入盟后调低关税,将有助于中国产品扩大销路。
    在加入欧盟后,只要根据欧盟标准获得认证的中国产品,就会在新成员国得到认可。此举并不仅限于电子及电器产品,还包括其它多类消费品和食品。技术标准的统一,虽然在一定程度上增加了中国产品进入市场的难度,但也会有助于中国企业拓展新成员国的市场,更因产品可以同时在西欧和东欧市场销售而取得更大的规模效益。
    欧盟的扩大,还意味着中国可以从更多的国家获得普惠制待遇。普惠制即“普遍优惠制“,是发达国家给予发展中国家出口制成品和半制成品(包括某些初级产品)的一种关税优惠制度。普惠制项下的出口产品关税平均要比最惠国税率低约1/3左右。目前,欧盟15国均属于给惠国,而新成员国中只有波兰、捷克和斯洛伐克3国给予中国普惠制待遇。欧盟扩大后,所有新成员国都将给予中国出口的制成品、半制成品普惠制待遇,这对中国企业享受关税优待、扩大出口、提高出口效益有一定好处。
    特别是欧元流通后,欧元区外的资本在进入欧元区后可享受国民待遇,使资本在欧元区的转移便捷了许多,对中国企业家很有吸引力。至于中欧广大的富有魅力的旅游市场,接纳大量的欧中游客,也是可以预见的。
    正式源于欧盟逐步走向开放的一体化模式,尽管欧盟作为一个机制化的一体化组织在冷战之后主要采取扩大成员国的路径扩展自己的活动空间,但是它也不断调整自己的政策取向,先后制定了走向亚洲新战略和与我国建立全面伙伴关系的文件,表现了欧盟对开展与亚洲各国关系的重视,尤其是对我国这个新兴的有着巨大潜力的市场的重视。
    2003年10月30日,中欧第6次领导人会晤在北京举行。中方提出,中欧双边贸易额到2007年力争达到1500亿美元,2013年达到 2000亿美元。欧盟重申要成为中国第一大贸易与投资伙伴(目前互为第三大贸易伙伴)。在上述《中国对欧盟政策文件》中,我们已表示:期待欧盟成为中国最大贸易与投资伙伴。为此,中国将致力于发展中欧“富有活力和长期稳定“的经贸合作关系。在双方的努力下,欧盟成为中国最大贸易与投资伙伴是完全可能的。

    三、中国与欧盟经贸合作在欧盟一体化进程中面临的问题
    面临更严技术标准
    欧盟的技术标准纷繁复杂,几乎涉及所有的进口产品。近年来,欧盟在抬高贸易壁垒时都比较隐蔽,往往打着技术标准、卫生检疫、环保等旗号,高筑非关税壁垒。而东欧国家以往在这些方面相对比较松。但在欧盟扩大之后,新成员国也会采用欧盟标准,引入这些非关税性质的贸易限制措施。入盟后,新成员国必须采用欧盟现行的技术标准,以及有关健康和安全的规定。例如,欧盟大都要求进口产品获得“EC“标志的技术认证,这一要求也将适用于新成员国。事实上,新成员国近几年来正逐步向欧盟统一的欧洲产品条例看齐,其中包括评估机构、认证机构、标准化和市场监督等。
    由于中国产品的产品标准相对较低,欧盟每次修改或调整某类产品的技术标准,往往都会对中国出口产品造成比较大的冲击。随手举几个例子。欧盟不久前通过的禁止出售含偶氮染料的服装,禁止使用一批可能对环境造成污染的化肥,都对中国相关产业造成了不小的影响。欧盟即将实施的废旧电子产品处理和化工产品条例,对中国产品的影响也非常大。据专家预测,光是废旧电子产品处理法规一项指令,就将使中国的彩电、电脑显示器等电子产品对欧盟的出口减少20%左右。
    欧盟的反倾销措施
    对中国的对外贸易而言,欧盟的反倾销更让人头痛。目前,除了波兰对中国的袖珍打火机、鞋类及电熨斗反倾销外,大部分新成员国目前对中国产品并无类似行动。可是,新成员入盟后,均将引入欧盟的反倾销措施。要知道,中国是欧盟最大的反倾销目标。据最新统计,欧盟目前对我出口产品实施贸易保护措施共38 起,其中反倾销案37起,保障措施案1起,涉及我五矿、化工、纺织、机电、土畜等多行业的产品。由于这些中国产品在2003年5月1日后进入10个新成员国时也要缴纳同样的反倾销税,势必加大中国企业的出口成本,甚至会导致一些中国产品被迫退出中东欧市场。
    与中东欧等国签署的双边贸易协议将失去效力
    欧盟扩大,还涉及到一个问题,即中国此前与中东欧等国签署的双边贸易协议将失去效力。为推动双边贸易发展,中国与许多中东欧国家签署了互利互惠的双边贸易协议。这些协议在这些国家加入欧盟后将自动失效,肯定对中国企业有些不利影响。
    我国的出口商品结构与中东欧国家比较接近,竞争性强。特别是近年来,西欧国家为利用东欧廉价的劳动力、东西欧地理接近等优势,大量到东欧国家投资设厂,更加剧了中东欧国家在工业制成品方面与中国等发展中国家的竞争。更让人担心的是,由于中东欧国家竞争力还相对较弱,一旦入盟,他们将为了自身的利益,推动扩大后的欧盟对非成员国产品进口设置更多障碍,中国还可能成为主要的受害者。
    欧盟内部整体与成员国局部的不协调
    中国与欧盟发展经贸关系与中国与其他单一国家发生经贸关系有很大不同。中国不仅要面对欧盟统一的贸易政策,而且也要面对欧盟各成员国的贸易政策。欧盟作为区域性贸易集团,各成员国的经济发展不平衡,一些较落后的国家和地区的出口产品和中国的出口产品较类似,因此,中国出口欧盟的产品份额就可能在欧盟内部被消化掉,从而制约中国对欧盟的出口。与此同时,欧盟成员国在进口时通常采用欧盟统一固定的规则,而出口时则倾向于采用各成员国较灵活的规则,从而达到扩大出口、保护本国市场的作用。这对中国来说,势必会提高进入欧盟市场的成本。

    四、对策与建议
    在贸易补偿谈判方面,各行业协会应发挥作用
    欧盟的扩大,即意味着欧盟这一自由贸易区和关税同盟的扩大。而根据世贸组织规则:关税同盟或自由贸易区成员,对第三方实行的关税与其他贸易法规,总体上不得高于或严于关税同盟或自由贸易区建立之前的水平。这也意味着,如果欧盟扩大对中国企业产生不利影响,中国有权要求欧盟进行补偿。目前美国、日本和俄罗斯等国已经与欧盟就贸易补偿问题展开了谈判。中国商务部也已经加入到这一行列。不过,欧盟贸易总司的有关官员表示,欧盟愿意与中方就此问题进行讨论,但认为欧盟扩大对中国企业总体上将产生积极影响,欧盟无须进行补偿,除非中方的观点能得到证实。由于中国是首次与别的贸易集团进行贸易补偿谈判,在谈判经验、应涉及的领域和材料准备,特别是各种贸易数据的准备方面都有一些不足。中国在对外贸易谈判方面还需与国际社会接轨,特别是要注意发挥各种行业协会的作用。
    贸易谈判涉及面极广,作为政府部门的商务部肯定要发挥牵头作用。但一个有效运作的行业协会实际上更加了解本行业的进出口情况,因为这牵扯到企业的切身利益。在欧美国家,行业协会在维护本行业利益,制定相关法规,影响政府决策方面发挥着重要作用。可惜的是,中国目前的行业协会很多属于准政府部门,并非企业自发自愿组成,能发挥的作用也就相当有限。因此中国的行业协会应该充分发挥相互之间的协调作用。
    实施贸易与投资互动战略
    在中国与欧盟的贸易中,中国一直处于顺差状态,欧盟处于逆差状态。加入WTO之后,中国对欧盟出口可能继续增加,贸易不平衡情况很可能继续维持。中国的企业急速地以贸易进入欧盟市场的方式和价格竞争战略,很容易引起欧盟的极度警惕并采取相应的保护措施,从而使中国输欧产品成本上升。为此,就应研究中国进入欧盟市场的方式问题。理论和实践均表明,贸易与投资存在着紧密的关联性,当直接贸易成本上升时,投资就是市场进入的最好方式。目前,中国对欧盟的投资尚属空白,中国对欧盟市场以投资方式进入与贸易方式进入显得极度不平衡,这势必造成中国产品在欧盟市场的极大脆弱性。因此,中国应在继续扩大对欧出口的同时,加快对欧盟的投资步伐。
    加强同欧盟的交往、互访,增进了解
    随着欧盟一体化进程的加速,中国应当与欧盟加大交往力度,加强相互高层互访,以增进彼此的了解;建立招商网络,利用当地中介机构,利用使领馆以及友好城市拓宽招商渠道;发展与欧盟有实力公司的战略伙伴关系;充分利用中国自身的产业优势,在新一轮的对外开放中增强竞争力。
