In 2006, some trade friction between China and Europe frequently. Following the 2005 war, after textiles, Chinese shoes become once again suffered another trade war industries; trade remedies taken by the European Union are increasingly diverse, from the TV to the shoes and then strawberries, even without the “special protection”, European The same can skillfully wield the big stick of anti-dumping; while together with the United States, Canada, China auto parts tariff policy will resort to W TO dispute settlement mechanism, it is the first Western countries to unite so that China suffered W TO lawsuit as a defendant, but also China as the defendant suffered was the second W TO lawsuit. There are indications that, in dealing with Chinas economic and trade relations, the attitude of the Europeans increasingly tougher. Why is it so frequent trade friction EU on Chinese shoes anti-dumping duties the most typical case. After 15 months of tug of war, from October 7, the Chinese enterprises involved, in addition to a market economy treatment due to be levied anti-dumping duties of 9.7%, the remaining companies are lessons to 16.5% tax, a two- years. And this penalty will affect 70,000 Chinese shoe workers employment opportunities. Ministry of Commerce Institute European Research Director Li Gang believes that the EU and China trade frictions have increased, and after EU enlargement and uneven development within the inadequate preparation for the transfer of industries is also a relationship, new members of the EU intends to undertake certain industrial transfer and Southern Europe on industry protection, resulting in anti-dumping on Chinese products increased significantly voted in favor. If we say that the spirit of free trade no match for the EU internal trade protectionism, then the Europeans have never been able to overcome the huge trade deficit between the EU and brought a sense of loss. The trade deficit between the EU and lead to frequent trade friction is obviously a direct fuse. In fact, trade in services, the EU has been Chinas trade surplus; while Chinas trade surplus mainly comes from processing trade, multinational corporations are included in the vast majority of exports in Chinas total trade, a considerable number of export profits fall into the multinational pocket, and sinks back to headquarters, and European investors accounted for a considerable proportion. 2007 trade friction can not be ignored is clear that for 2007, the EU still exist in all fields between the larger trade friction may occur. For Europeans, the use of trade remedies will bring great pressure on China, even in Li Gangs view, “countervailing investigations may also rise.” Labor-intensive industry is still vulnerable. 2005 and 2006 the textile dispute shoes dispute has given Chinas labor-intensive industries has sounded the alarm, Chinese labor cost advantage to rely on the traditional way of export competition in the EU market encountered obstacles. “Labor-intensive industries still have to open up the EU market depth, but not blindly use the leverage of non-price competition.” Li Gang analysis. Intellectual property rights and other areas of friction may rise. Commerce Department official who requested anonymity told reporters that the EUs trade policy documents, devoted much mention intellectual property issues must be cause for concern. In fact, the Europeans are warning Chinese people, intellectual property may become a minefield of bilateral trade. Back in November, once the outgoing message, the European Union to the United States, Japan, Canada, the Chinese intellectual property issues to the W TO dispute settlement mechanism, and intellectual property has become the EUs trade policy documents critical content. Another noteworthy phenomenon is that not only are likely to become more anti-dumping, anti-subsidy investigation may also appear in next years EU-China trade friction areas. This year, Europe and the United States on Chinese subsidies frequently expressed concern. April, in the W TO on China trade policy deliberations, Europe and the United States asked China to clarify the subsidy program. October, W TO Subsidies and Countervailing Committees first appraisal Chinese instructions on industrial subsidies, the U.S. and Europe that Chinas explanation lacks sufficient transparency. In November, the United States against Chinese coated paper made more anti-subsidy investigations initiated. U.S. anti-subsidy investigations launched against Chinese coated paper may give the EU to make a bad example. Face trade friction “external pressure will lead us to change trade growth mode, the lowest increase in volume change practice.” The face of trade friction between China and Europe, Li Gang reminds must objectively look at this issue. Look after the Chinese textile dispute textile market it, in the first nine months, Chinas textile and clothing in the EU, U.S., Japan and other major market share steadily, which garment export prices to the EU grew by 17%. China Textile Import and Export Chamber of Commerce that the EU, Sino-US textile agreement signed for Chinas textile exports brought a stable trading environment to ensure the orderly development of the textile trade. One can not ignore the fact that, compared to EU trade continues to expand, and this expansion of benefits to both China and the EU share of trade friction between the amount is only a small part. Clearly, in the face in the coming year for the foreseeable trade friction between China and the EU does not make a major reversal.
