The crisis over clothing imports is still hitting the headlines, and we spoke to some of the people involved. In Portugal, Joao da Silva owns a small factory in Aveiro. Look, I can't see any problem with these import controls. The European Union should protect European industry - people like me and my factory workers. We can't produce clothing at the prices the Chinese charge. I employ a small number of people, it's true, but they depend on me. Where else could they work around here? My message to Mr Mandelson is this: stop the Chinese imports, support European producers. But it's a different message from the retail clothing chain Tulip. Listen to what Dagmar Rasmussen has to say. We in the retail trade really think we should import garments from China, or from Malaysia, or from any country that can supply us at a good price. Why should the European Union tell us where and how to do business? We are not at all happy with this situation. Our shops could be almost completely empty next week. What are we going to say to our customers? The European Trade Commissioner should act at once, and permit the clothes to leave the warehouses and to stock our shops. Really, this can't go on!
現(xiàn)在服裝進(jìn)口危機(jī)仍然是頭條新聞,我們來(lái)了解一下相關(guān)人士的看法。來(lái)自葡萄牙的喬·達(dá)·希爾瓦在阿威羅有一家小工廠。 我覺(jué)得這些進(jìn)口管制沒(méi)有任何問(wèn)題,歐盟應(yīng)當(dāng)保護(hù)歐洲的產(chǎn)業(yè)——保護(hù)像我和我的工人這樣的人。我們不能生產(chǎn)像中國(guó)那樣價(jià)格的服裝。我的雇員不多,這是事實(shí),但是他們要依靠我。他們還能去別的什么地方呢?我給曼德森先生的信件內(nèi)容是:停止進(jìn)口中國(guó)產(chǎn)品,支持歐洲生產(chǎn)方。 但是服裝零售連鎖“郁金香”有不同的觀點(diǎn),來(lái)聽(tīng)聽(tīng)達(dá)格瑪·拉斯姆森怎么說(shuō)的。 就零售貿(mào)易來(lái)說(shuō),我們確實(shí)需要從中國(guó)、馬來(lái)西亞或者從其他能價(jià)格合理的國(guó)家進(jìn)口。為什么要?dú)W盟告訴我們?cè)趺醋錾??我們?duì)現(xiàn)在這種情況很不滿意,店鋪下周幾乎要斷貨了。我們要怎么和顧客解釋呢?歐盟貿(mào)易專(zhuān)員必須立刻行動(dòng),允許倉(cāng)庫(kù)內(nèi)的服裝進(jìn)入店鋪。真的,不能這樣下去了!
