EU - Reports circulating around the EU over the last week suggest that EU negotiators are preparing to offer some South American countries import quotas for selected agricultural products.A draft of the EU’s offer to Mercosur, due to be tabled next month, reportedly includes an offer of a tariff rate quota for pork. This would allow the Mercosur countries to supply 3,000 tonnes of prime pork cuts and 9,250 tonnes of lower quality pork to the EU, provided it was Ractopamine-free. This would be subject to a 83/tonne levy but this is well below current tariffs, which range from 467 to 869 per tonne, depending on the cut involved.
上周围绕欧盟展开的报道显示欧盟谈判代表正准备为一些南美国家提供选定的农业产品进口配额。欧盟与南方共同市场的提议草案将在下个月付诸商议。据报道其中包括一份猪肉关税率配额提议。这将容许南美共同市场国家向欧盟供应3000吨臃适猪肉配额和9250吨较低品质猪肉，提供的猪肉不能含有莱克多巴胺。由于涉及到配额，当前关税在467欧元/吨到869欧元/吨之间浮动，而提议征收的关税在83欧元/吨，远低于当前关税。
