Myanmar requests EU not to revoke trade preference
Myanmar Government officials and businesses have requested the European Union (EU) to reconsider the potential move to withdraw its generalised scheme of preferences (GSP) benefit from thecountryfearing negative impacts on growth and population. Both feel the move will result in high levels of unemployment resulting from migration of foreign business houses.
Aung Naing Oo, director general at the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration, said the EU decision could have a big impact on Myanmar’s reforms and growth momentum as it will be tough for manufacturers to export their goods to Europe, according to a Myanmarese newspaperreport.
It would slow down reforms and offer a big blow to the country’s efforts to promote foreign direct investment (FDI), he said, requesting the bloc to reconsider its planned punishment on Myanmar for alleged human right violations against ethnic people.
Zaw Min Win, president of the Union of Myanmar Federation of Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said local businesses needtradepreference to export their goods to Europe, which is the third largest export market of Myanmar. UMFCCI has also made the same appeal to EU authorities.
EU had reinstated GSP for Myanmar in 2013 to support its transition to democracy.
Following a monitoring mission’s visit to the nation in late October 2018, EU Commissioner for Trade Cecilia Malmstrom announced a plan to consider a temporary GSP withdrawal because of the findings.
Khine Khine Nwe, joint secretary general of UMFCCI and general secretary of Myanmar Garments Manufacturers Association, visited Brussels recently to request the bloc maintain its trade privileges for Myanmar. She held discussions with EU authorities, including director generals for trade and employment.
Maung Maung, president of the Confederation of Trade Unions Myanmar, said more than one million workers from garment and fishery industries could be affected if the EU decides to revoke the trade preference.

缅甸要求欧盟不要取消贸易优惠

缅甸政府官员和企业已要求欧盟(EU)重新考虑取消其普惠制(GSP)的潜在举措,担心这会对经济增长和人口造成负面影响。双方都认为,此举将导致外国企业迁徙造成的高失业率。
据缅甸一家报纸报道,缅甸投资与公司管理局总干事昂奈乌表示,欧盟的决定可能对缅甸的改革和增长势头产生重大影响,因为制造商很难将产品出口到欧洲。
他说,这将放慢改革步伐,并对缅甸促进外国直接投资(FDI)的努力造成重大打击。他要求欧盟重新考虑对缅甸涉嫌侵犯少数民族人权的惩罚计划。
缅甸工商总会联合会会长卓敏温说,当地企业需要获得贸易优惠,才能向欧洲出口产品。欧洲是缅甸第三大出口市场。UMFCCI也向欧盟当局发出了同样的呼吁。
欧盟在2013年恢复了对缅甸的普惠制,以支持缅甸向民主过渡。
欧盟贸易专员塞西莉亚·马尔姆斯特罗姆在一个监督小组于2018年10月底访问该国之后,宣布了一项计划,考虑根据调查结果暂时退出普惠制。
缅甸国际商会(UMFCCI)联合秘书长、缅甸服装制造商协会秘书长Khine kine Nwe最近访问布鲁塞尔,要求欧盟维持对缅甸的贸易特权。她与包括贸易和就业总干事在内的欧盟当局进行了讨论。
缅甸工商联合会主席貌貌Maung Maung说,如果欧盟决定取消贸易优惠,服装和渔业行业的100多万工人可能会受到影响。
