In brewing nearly a year and a few visits to Beijing after all have failed, and the European Union in this month, 21, ready to launch a aims to modify existing eu government procurement agreement (GPA) proposal, its core is to restrict the some countries enterprise bid for the European Union government procurement projects, and urged India to led to the European Union countries enterprise open its domestic government purchasing market.
The controversial recommendations are made by the European Union member of internal market michelle BaNiYe and the eu trade commissioner carlo DE ancient Athens develop, which in a government procurement field requirement is: the European Union enterprise if think in a third country government procurement in suffer discrimination, can put forward by the European commission and appeal to launch an investigation, according to the ruling as a result, the European Union will refuse to third parties from the enterprise of offer.
"If the above the third countries has repeatedly discrimination eu enterprises, the commission will take the pointed measures, restrict the third country enterprise and effectively shut down part of the eu procurement market." A spokesman for the European commission said.
According to China's proposal
"This program will imitates the existing anti-dumping litigation procedure." The European Union members, a spokesman for the internal market BaNiYe is Hugo, said.
According to the European Union figures, the European Union's public procurement contract the eu accounted for 19% of GDP, of around 2 trillion euros, including a 352 billion euro market to the eu enterprises open. In contrast, Japan and the United States in this scale is much smaller, one of the American open market scale around 178 billion euros, and Japan will only around 27 billion euros.
In fact, the European Union considering the government procurement restrictions may mainly aims at is the China. "The proposal would allow the eu to differentiate between those with the eu has no agreement between GPA or country." BaNiYe earlier said, "typical for, it is (European Union) with the difference between the U.S. and China."
The United States and Japan, and the European Union with belong to WTO "government purchasing agreement" (GPA) members. Mid-december, the WTO meeting in Geneva for each member trade minister announced that in the European Union and the Japanese to overcome differences, they succeed revised 42 members GPA, including the global larger economies: the European Union, the United States, Japan and South Korea, these countries have to open the new industry such as such as telecommunications, the nature of the public bidding competition.
At present China still is not under the WTO members of the GPA agreement: GPA came into force in 1996, is an exclusive multilateral agreements, which member states to open a signatory to only GPA, not all WTO members.
In the new agreement reached GPA, facing the international competition of the opening of the whole public bidding value reached 600 billion euros, however compound the five-Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa have not signed the new agreement. For China, one reason is that Europe and the United States officials provided for China the market access of discontent.
This January visit BaNiYe GPA problem is with Chinese finance minister XieXuRen again to exchange views, especially about China to join the government procurement agreement's latest project, and at the time of the first financial daily (the Po) "said:" we are for the deal has a better framework, now must show that China is willing to act on schedule."
But then a series of events was declared the European Union mediation did not declare success, especially in February this year China's ministry of industry and information announced the annual party and government organs state-owned cars choose models directory (draft), will be for the purchase of 412 GongWuChe in all vehicles for the independent brand designated, the European suffered more from the European Union enterprise pressure.
The European chamber thought, the workers believe the draft of the list of car models are limited to domestic independent brand, a move that will joint venture enterprises, foreign enterprises are excluded. The market demand is forecast to about 1 million cars a year.
The European Union member states have different opinions
The above GPA protection measures in the middle of the French President nicolas sarkozy heaz. Face the campaign, Mr Sarkozy has said: "all European market to some countries are GPA open, but they did not open to Europe, is this normal?"
"I asked the commercial negotiations rules more mutual." Mr Sarkozy says, "if Asian countries don't want their public procurement market to European companies open, we have made it clear whether it should be put forward from these countries continue to the company opened Europe public procurement market's problems."
For this is to belong to trade protectionism to questioning, sarkozy has said is not true, because the cultured is "mutual benefit".
But the eu limit government procurement proposal despite the French support, but in the European Union member states internal remain huge controversy, Britain, the Netherlands and Sweden to free trade for the traditional state will not agree with this bill.
A spokesman for the British resident Brussels represents Williams said: "the UK claims the open market." This comment that British opposition to the proposal.
A don't wish to be named, diplomats said: "we don't know whether this will work, and the proposal could lead to target countries from tit-for-tat response."
