Subsidy programmes that discriminate between local and foreign producers invite WTO litigation. According to a leaked copy of a ruling obtained by the International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development, a Geneva-based think-tank, the WTO will uphold a complaint brought by Japan and the EU against a power generation scheme in the Canadian province of Ontario that gives preferential treatment to locally manufactured solar and wind equipment.
对本国和外国生产商区别对待的补贴项目很容易引发WTO诉讼。国际贸易和可持续发展中心(International Centre for Trade and Sustainable Development)得到的一份外泄的判决书显示,WTO将支持日本和欧盟就加拿大安大略省某发电项目提起的诉讼,该项目对加拿大本地生产的太阳能和风能设备给予优先待遇。国际贸易和可持续发展中心总部位于日内瓦,是一家智库机构。
If that ruling is confirmed, it could provoke a flurry of subsidy-related litigation, with Europe itself vulnerable. Spain recently introduced a “local content rule favouring domestic biodiesel producers, prompting Argentina to threaten a WTO case against the EU claiming unfair treatment.
如果以上判决结果得到证实,则可能引发一连串与贸易补贴相关的诉讼,欧盟自身很有可能成为诉讼目标。西班牙近期引入了一项“本地成分规则,偏袒本国的生物柴油生产商。阿根廷威胁就此向WTO提起诉讼,指控欧盟对外国企业给予不平等待遇。
