中化新网讯 7月29日，欧洲化工委员会(Cefic)与德国化工协会(VCI)发表声明，对7月27日公布的欧美初 步贸易协定持谨慎欢迎态度，但双方均表示新关税及贸易协定可能进一步损害化工行业竞争力。 Cefic呼吁尽快披露更多细节。该协会在7月29日的声明中指出，虽然初步协议似乎避免了最坏情况，但 美国对欧洲出口产品加征的额外关税可能会进一步削弱欧盟化工行业竞争力。同时强调，欧盟近期发布 的《化学工业行动计划》急需全面实施，时不我待。 尽管强调额外关税阻碍大西洋两岸贸易投资流动，Cefic仍对初步协议将部分化学品纳入零关税清单表 示认可，称其"释放了积极信号"，并指出所有化学品都需要有利的贸易条件。Cefic呼吁欧美双方"达成 全面平衡的行业协议，确保优惠贸易条件，增强可预见性，提升行业竞争力"。 德国VCI常务董事沃尔夫冈·格罗塞·恩特鲁普在声明中说："期待飓风的人会感激暴风雨，但代价对双方 都过高：欧洲出口正丧失竞争力，而美国消费者还要承担关税。"他表示，美方对多数欧盟进口商品征 收15%的初始关税税率对化工行业来说仍属过高。恩特鲁普强调应通过持续谈判进一步削减欧美化工品 关税，称此举将促进大西洋两岸的再工 ...
