In a recent paper for the Cato Institute, a US libertarian think-tank, Scott Lincicome, a trade lawyer at White and Case in Washington, states: “The world is awash in trade-distorting subsidies.
在美国右翼智囊机构加图研究所(Cato Institute)近期发表的一份研究报告中,华盛顿伟凯律师事务所(White and Case)的贸易问题律师斯科特·林西科姆(Scott Lincicome)指出:“扭曲贸易的政府补贴呈全球泛滥之势。
Familiar battlegrounds such as agriculture, fisheries and passenger aircraft have been joined by new energy industries: biofuels, solar and wind power. US solar cell manufacturers this year persuaded the International Trade Commission, an independent quasi-judicial federal agency, to impose CVDs on imports from China. A coalition of EU solar companies is seeking the same from Brussels.
除了农业、渔业以及乘用客机等常见领域,生物燃料、太阳能、风能等新能源领域也成为了贸易补贴的战常美国太阳能电池生产商今年说服了美国国际贸易委员会(ITC)对进口自中国的太阳能电池征收反补贴税。国际贸易委员会是具有准司法性质的独立联邦机构。一个由欧盟太阳能企业结成的联盟也向布鲁塞尔方面提出了同样要求。
Subsidies in global biofuels and renewable energy have followed a similar trajectory to those of industries such as coal, steel and shipbuilding in earlier decades. Initially justifying handouts by reference to big start-up costs and increasing returns to scale, such sectors went on to become symbols of national economic virility and self-sufficiency but frequently ended up with global overcapacity, production gluts, falling output prices and trade disputes.
