特區政府決定就美國對香港產品加徵關稅向世貿組織提出申訴
Following the United States’ announcement that it would impose an additional 10 per cent tariff on Hong Kong products, a Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) Government spokesperson said today (February 7) that the HKSAR Government had decided to lodge a complaint with the World Trade Organization (WTO) over the matter.
The spokesperson said: “The US’ actions seriously violate WTO rules and disregard Hong Kong’s status under Article 116 of the Basic Law, as well as its status as a separate customs territory recognised by the WTO. The HKSAR Government will formally initiate proceedings under the WTO dispute settlement mechanism in respect of the unreasonable measures taken by the US side, in order to safeguard our legitimate rights and interests.”
The spokesperson reiterated that Hong Kong had always been a staunch supporter of a rules-based multilateral trading system. The HKSAR Government expressed strong dissatisfaction with the US’ actions and urged the US to immediately rectify its erroneous conduct.
就美國宣布對香港產品加徵一成關稅，香港特別行政區（特區）政府發言人今日（二月七日）表示，特區政府決定就事件向世界貿易組織（世貿組織）提出申訴。
發言人表示：「美國的做法嚴重違反世貿組織規則，並無視香港根據《基本法》第116條及獲世貿組織肯定作為單獨關稅地區的地位。特區政府將根據世貿組織爭端解決機制，就美方的無理措施正式啓動程序，以捍衛我們的合法權益。」
發言人重申，香港一直是以規則為本的多邊貿易制度的堅定支持者，特區政府對美方的做法表達強烈不滿，敦促美方立即糾正錯誤行為。
