　　WTO Rules China Unfairly Protected Domestic Manufacturers By Limiting Exports

　　WTO裁定中国违规保护国内制造业，拒绝中国的解释

　　GENEVA -- The World Trade Organization ruled Tuesday that China was unfairly protecting its domestic manufacturers by limiting the export of nine raw materials that are used widely in steel, aluminum and chemical industries.

　　日内瓦—世贸组织周二裁定中国通过限制出口九种被广泛应用于钢铁、铝还有化工工业的原材料以保护民族工业的做法违反了世贸组织规定。

　　A WTO panel sided with the United States, European Union and Mexico, which had each filed complaints saying China was driving up the prices they pay for raw materials such as coke, bauxite and zinc by setting export duties and quotas on them.

　　WTO专家组支持美国、欧盟还有墨西哥此次的诉求。美国、欧盟还有墨西哥此次向世贸组织递交诉状称中国通过设置出口关税及出口配额拉升了其进口的原材料的价格（如焦炭、铝土还有锌）。

　　The panel rebuffed China’’s argumentthat its export limits were needed to protect its environment, and said those export restrictions should be removed.

　　WTO专家组粗暴拒绝接受中国的解释，中国方面称其出口限制是为了保护环境，但是专家组坚持中国的出口限制必须取消。

　　WTO judges concluded that"China’’s export duties were inconsistent with the commitments that China had agreed to"when it joined the trade organization in 2001."The panel also found that export quotas imposed by China on some of the raw materials were inconsistent with WTO rules."

　　WTO评审裁定中国设置的出口关税与中国在2001年加入世贸时的承诺不相符。专家组还称中国对一些原材料设置出口配额的做法有悖于世贸组织规定。

　　China’’s export restrictions have caused supplies of some raw materials to tighten globally, pushing prices higher and favoring an emphasis on using Chinese manufacturing facilities.

　　中国实施的出口限制措施已造成全球范围一些原材料供应吃紧，推高了原材料价格，这一切的重中之重都是使中国企业得到实惠。

　　But the ruling could be more important in helping the U.S. and Europeans support another trade complaint against Chinese attempts to restrict exports of rare-earth materials that are used in many high-tech products, according to Europe’’s trade chief.

　　用欧洲首席贸易官的话来说：“但是此项裁定将有助于帮助美国还有欧洲国家提出的另一项对华贸易争端的请求—中国限制出口广泛应用于高科技产品的稀土资源。”

　　"This is a clear verdict for open trade and fair access to raw materials,"said EU Trade Commissioner Karel De Gucht."It sends a strong signal to refrain from imposing unfair restrictions to trade and takes us one step closer to a level playing field for raw materials."

　　欧盟贸易官Karel De Gucht称：“此项裁决很清楚，有助于原材料贸易的公开化公正化。”“这发出一个强烈的信号—制止通过施加不正当贸易限制来（竞争），也使大家在原材料（贸易）上站在同一舞台（公平竞争）。”

　　She said expectations now are for China to"bring its export regime in line with international rules. Furthermore, in the light of this result, China should ensure free and fair access to rare earth supplies."

　　她还表示现在期待中国在出口政策方面能与世贸规则相接轨。还有，根据此次裁决结果，中国要确保在稀土资源供应上做到自由化还有公正化。

　　EU officials say export prices for raw materials more than doubled when compared with the price in China because of the export quotas, and for some products half of the final cost to consumers depends of the cost of those raw materials.

　　欧盟官员称由于中国实施出口配额，通过比较可以发现原材料的出口价格已经翻番。而且还有许多产品的至用户的终端价格半数以上取决与原材料成本的价格。

　　Other materials affected by Tuesday’’s ruling include fluorspar, magnesium, manganese, silicon carbide, silicon metal and yellow phosphorus.

　　受周二裁定影响的其他原材料还有萤石、镁、锰、碳化硅、金属硅和黄磷。

　　China can still appeal the panel’’s decision.

　　中国仍可以就专家组的裁定提出上诉。

　　U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk called the ruling a big victory for workers and manufacturers in the U.S. and worldwide.

　　美国贸易代表Ron Kirk表示此次裁定对美国及全世界的工人还要厂家是次巨大的胜利。

　　"China’’s policies provide substantial competitive advantages for downstream Chinese industries at the expense of non-Chinese users of these materials,"he said.

　　他表示：“在对这些原材料非中国用户减少的情况下，中国的政策为中国中下游企业提供了潜在竞争优势。”
