V. United States restrictions on Chinese poultry trade complementarity far exceeds the competition to win the case

catbroad — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 03:58:27 +0000

According to Voice of “News Coverage” 7:21 reported yesterday (16) evening, sources said, China’s WTO against the United States won the case of poultry restrictions. From at half past four p.m. on April 17, 2009, China formally submitted by the delegation to the U.S. WTO consultation request in the beginning, this campaign of poultry exports have sounded the trumpet.
According to Voice of “News Coverage” 7:21 reported yesterday (16) evening, sources said, China’s WTO against the United States won the case of poultry restrictions. This is the first challenge the United States Congress that China is the first prosecution of the U.S. Congress legislative victory.
Recently, China’s WTO case against the United States restrictions on poultry expert group published an interim report. Report found: U.S. import restrictions on Chinese poultry on a violation of WTO rules related to animal and plant quarantine measures, but also violated the WTO’s MFN status and removal of quantitative restrictions. China claims made almost all of the support group of experts, called victory.
From at half past four p.m. on April 17, 2009, China formally submitted by the delegation to the U.S. request for consultations in WTO started this campaign of poultry exports have sounded the trumpet. In the subsequent 14-month period, the United States would “Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2009″ provisions of section 727 to become the focus of the case.
“727 clause” is Barack Obama in March 11, 2009 signed the “Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2009″ section 727, the content is “provided under any provision of this Law shall not be used to develop or implement any poultry product imports from China to allow the United States rules. ” After the adoption of this provision, as the two Governments unable to start negotiations on poultry imports, thus they blocked the Chinese poultry market could return to the United States.
In fact, in the poultry trade, the United States have been going to China 忽悠 for several years. As early as 2005, the avian flu spreads around the world, countries have issued for the import ban on poultry products. Since then, both sides agreed to release each other’s import ban on poultry products. In China, removal of import ban on U.S. poultry 6 years later, Chinese enterprises are still banned from exporting poultry to the United States. China to honor its commitments, the United States, but eat their words.
Trade protectionism as a “vanguard”, the U.S. Congress legislation being challenged in the WTO is very common, but only a handful of success. Foreign Trade University, vice president of China WTO Research, Dr. Tu Xinquan last night told the Voice of China “News Coverage,” an interview that the United States defeated this time, because the 727 has a significant discriminatory terms.
Tu Xinquan: poultry case and the nature of U.S. law. “727 articles” obvious discriminatory in violation of WTO MFN principle. “727 clause” provision prohibiting the use of financial allocations USDA investigation cancel the import restrictions on Chinese poultry operations, significantly discriminated against in China. At that time, the Chinese Government has taken a strong stance on the one hand against the United States introduced the law, on the other hand resort to WTO rules and fight for rights. From the results, the position taken by the Chinese government and the attitude is correct.
China WTO Research Association, Research Center of Tsinghua University, Senior Fellow, China-US relations, Zhou, who is China’s accession to the World Trade Organization negotiations on one. Last night he told the Voice of China, “News Review” interview, said the case for China and the WTO, developing countries took up arms to defend their own interests, is a good encouragement.
Zhou observed: WTO dispute settlement body is to safeguard free trade. In recent years, much of the U.S. engaging in trade protectionism. A while ago, Brazil won the case of cotton subsidies. WTO that developing countries should take up arms for more justice, and seek a fair solution, and this is the means to solve the current trade frictions.
It is understood that the case is still under expert trial stage, if the U.S. refuses to accept the verdict, can appeal. If it does not appeal, the Expert Group report will become final. China tour, even if the United States filed an appeal, but also won the time, lose face.
Zhou observed: from past experience, especially the European Union-led joint prosecution of the eight countries and regions in the United States, early in 2003 agencies access to WTO dispute settlement decisions, P Plus victory. But the U.S. appeals, by the end of 2003, the Dispute Settlement Body rejected the U.S. appeal. The United States will use a right of appeal, of course not always win, but for the U.S. poultry industry for a time. Chinese diplomatic about face, the Americans do not speak face, as long as the interest will appeal. For this matter, the Chinese people to be patient.
In Tu Xinquan view, as the case with some particularity, the United States is unlikely to appeal.
Tu Xinquan: “Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2009″ has been due to expire. In the “Consolidated Appropriations Act 2010, the United States” in terms no longer appear similar. WTO dispute settlement required the losing party withdraw the relevant measures. In fact the measure has been withdrawn. From necessity, the U.S. did not seem necessary to further appeal.
Does this mean that: Since then, China’s cooked poultry products processed on board the ocean to the other side, side table of the American people do? Dr. Tu Xinquan, this caused friction and the chicken will not be an end, because the contents of the Bill itself, the lifting of the ban is not on the Chinese exports to the U.S. poultry ban, but the open use of the Ministry of Agriculture undertaken to eliminate the financial allocation to the investigation of Chinese restrictions on poultry imports, so the final result will depend on the United States Department of Agriculture-related findings.
Tu Xinquan: As for the eventual lifting of restrictions on imports of Chinese poultry meat, depending on the findings. The Chinese side is more successful at the macro policy level to solve Sino-US trade and create conditions for poultry meat, the end result may depend on the two governments, especially the agricultural sector related to consultations and negotiations. Chinese Government to exert enough pressure to give the United States to provide sufficient evidence to allow the United States Department of Agriculture to conduct investigations as soon as possible, identify the import of Chinese poultry products are safe, environmentally friendly. Thus, China’s poultry exports to the U.S. real recovery.
The same power as the poultry, poultry meat trade in the two countries often struck a “love-hate” the spark. Or even to win the Chinese market, the largest U.S. chicken Action – American Association of Chicken also sound, even behind the terms of China to prosecute U.S. 727.
An interesting phenomenon is: U.S. consumers favor chicken breast, while Chinese consumers are more like chicken, chicken feet and chicken wings. The two countries chicken consumption habits of the natural differences in trade between the two countries complement each other so much greater than the competition. Therefore, Zhou believes that either the United States, China, chicken feet or chicken, and lots to maximize the benefits of which should be the pursuit of their common goals.
, Zhou: China and the U.S. are poultry producing country, but the American people not the same as the habit of eating poultry. Chinese people are willing to eat chicken wings, chicken feet, Americans are willing to eat chicken. China and the U.S. under fair competition, free trade and mutually beneficial to both sides. In addition, the implementation of the United States in agricultural products are heavily subsidized, it should be revoked. In the case of a large number of subsidies, Sino-US trade is not fair.

At present, the overall international and domestic commodity prices weakened, in May China’s commodity price index (CCPI) chain fell 5.2 points down year on year increase. Productivity in the business center of circulation, senior analyst at REALITY that, according to experience, fluctuations in commodity prices will be conducted after two months to consumer prices, consumer prices after two months there are large growth year on year decline possible.
Recently, as the market worried about the euro zone debt crisis intensified, the dollar strengthened again hedging function, the dollar index higher quickly. In May, the dollar index was 85.45 points, compared with April, up 4.23 points, up 5.2%. Euro debt crisis intensified strength in the dollar index, while rapid, has to a certain extent, affected the international market consumer demand for commodities, the final co-led the international market in U.S. dollar-denominated commodity prices overall weakness. Data show that in May the average price of WTI crude oil futures 74.11 U.S. dollars / barrel, compared with April, down by 10.48 U.S. dollars / barrel, down 12.4%; 5 at the end of the global coal NEWC index was 96.84 U.S. dollars platform / ton, and the end of phase 4 ratio, down 12.03 U.S. dollars / ton, down 11.0%; May LME copper spot price averaged to 6837.20 U.S. dollars / ton, compared with April, down 907.19 U.S. dollars / ton, down 11.7%; in May China’s imports of iron ore The average price index, decreased 4.6%.
In recent years, with the sustained and rapid development of domestic economy, crude oil, iron ore, copper and other commodities continued growth of imports, a substantial increase in import dependence.

Dependence on commodity imports of major increases in the most direct impact on domestic and international commodity prices is more closely linked, domestic commodity prices on international markets will be more sensitive to commodity prices. May the international market, commodity prices fall has been directly reflected in domestic commodity prices, the commercial circulation Productivity Center data show that in May China’s commodity price index (referred to as “CCPI”, in June 2006 as the base of the fixed base index ) monthly average of 121.1 points, compared with April, down 5.2 point, down 4.1% compared to last year, up 22.9 points, or 23.3% increase compared with April down 6.1 percentage points.
Chairman Lee said that as the basis for industrial commodities and more raw materials, therefore, industrial commodity prices and consumer prices to a process of transmission. In a previous study, we found up commodity prices and the consumer price index over the previous year’s index has a strong correlation, in which month the consumer price index and the first two months of the year commodity price index of the correlation between year the strongest correlation coefficient as high as 0.97. In other words, under normal circumstances, the volatility of commodity prices will go through two months of transmission to consumer prices. As in May year on year growth rate of commodity prices has significantly come down after two months of year consumer price growth may drop back there.
From the current situation, short-term euro zone debt crisis is still difficult to shake off the haze, compared with the euro, investors will continue to prefer U.S. dollar, the dollar index is expected to continue to run high. Furthermore, because the euro zone deep debt crisis, the euro zone and other major economies in international trade may be affected to some extent, on the basis of recovery is not yet stable world economy posed a certain threat to the international market for commodities demand impact. These factors will continue to give some time in the future dollar-denominated commodity prices in international market pressure on the international market the next few months, another sharply higher commodity prices is unlikely, but showed a weak shock will adjust the overall situation. Affected by this, coupled with on the domestic at present are accelerating economic restructuring and advancing, “two high and one capital” industry’s rapid development or will be subject to certain inhibition, the next few months, domestic bulk commodity Jiage vulnerable than the possibility of shock adjustment Great.
From commodity prices and consumer price relationship can be seen in the next few months, domestic consumer prices are also expected to weaken, taking into account the second half of last year, overall consumer prices showed a trend of gradually higher, so the second half of this year domestic inflationary pressure, or will be weakened.
