英国每年因产品标准不互认对欧盟贸易损失超65亿英镑

英国智库IPPR发布的报告显示，由于英国与欧盟未能达成产品测试标准相互认可协议，英国每年可能损失高达65亿英镑的欧盟出口额1。这一贸易损失相当于英国国民收入的0.18%1。

报告指出，多个关键产业受到重大冲击。汽车及零部件出口每年损失在24.8亿至34.2亿英镑之间，电子产品出口损失为11.7亿至16.7亿英镑，药品出口损失则为7.4亿至8.2亿英镑1。许多企业因重复测试成本过高而被迫放弃向欧盟出口或选择在欧盟内建立子公司1。

The UK could be losing as much as £6.5 billion annually in exports to the European Union because the two sides have failed to establish a mutual recognition agreement for product testing standards 1. According to a report by the IPPR think tank, the absence of such an accord has forced many British companies to either abandon EU markets or establish subsidiaries within the bloc to avoid the substantial costs of duplicate testing 1.

The impact varies significantly across sectors 1. Automotive and automotive parts exports face the steepest losses, ranging from £2.48 billion to £3.42 billion per year, followed by electronics at £1.17 billion to £1.67 billion annually and pharmaceuticals at £740 million to £820 million yearly 1. The cumulative trade losses represent approximately 0.18 percent of UK national income 1.
