巴基斯坦或将成为普惠制加的最大受益者

The country would be the biggest beneficiary of GSP Plus in Parkistan

Exports from Pakistan to the European Union (EU) have surged 37 per cent in the past three years, driven by the generalised scheme of preferences (GSP) plus status offered to Pakistan in December 2013. The GSP plus status makes it possible for Pakistan to export 20 per cent of all exports at zero rate and preferential rates for 70 per cent of overall exports.

The biggest beneficiary of GSP Plus have been Pakistan textile and apparel exports, which make up for around 60 per cent of overall exports from the country to the EU.

“The GSP status offers huge potential for enhancing mutual trade between Pakistan and the EU,” Pakistan federal commerce minister Khurram Dastgir Khan said in a statement.

Khan also revealed that exports of machinery, chemicals and dyes from Europe to Pakistan also grew 14 per cent in the same period, which were mainly used in production of exports of textiles and garments to the European markets.”

The yearly trade between EU and Pakistan is around $7 billion, with the balance of trade being nearly equal. The main products exported from Pakistan to the EU mainly included textiles, apparels, and leather products. (AR)

2013年，欧盟决定对巴基斯坦实施GSP+优惠政策，对20%巴出口该地区的产品实行零关税，70%产品实行优惠税率，优惠期持续至2017年。在过去的三年里，巴基斯坦对欧盟出口增长37%。

作为普惠制加的最大受益者，巴基斯坦出口至欧盟的纺织品和服装占其总出口的60%左右。

巴基斯坦联邦商务部长Khurram Dastgir Khan在一份声明中说，普惠制加政策的实施，有利于促进双方之间的贸易合作与交流。

Khan还透露，欧洲的机械、化学品和染料也同比上涨了14%。而这些产品主要用于生产纺织品和服装出口至欧洲市场。

目前，欧盟和巴基斯坦的双边贸易额超过70亿美元，基本平衡。巴出口产品主要为纺织品、服装和皮革产品。
