脱欧：日本称与欧盟的贸易协议重于与英国的贸易协议 [英国媒体]

Japan is more focused on a securing major trade deal with the European unx than pursuing an agreement with a post-Brexit Britain a senior minister has said.

一位高级官员称，比起与“后脱欧时代”（Brexit，即British exit，是对英国退出欧盟的一种戏谑说法）英国间的协议，日本更重视达成与欧盟间的重大贸易协议。

Shinichi Iida minister for public diplomacy and media said his country's "first and foremost priority" was rubber-stamping its historic trade agreement with Brussels – the largest the EU has ever signed – before work could begin on establishing lucrative free trade deals with the UK.

（日本驻英国大使馆）负责公共外交和媒体事务的官员伊达慎一（Shinichi Iida）说，日本的“第一要务”是尽快签订它和布鲁塞尔间历史性的贸易协议——这是欧盟签订过的最大贸易协议。然后（日本）才能着手制定与英国间有利可图的自由贸易协议。

As one of the UK's major investors Japan has been outspoken in its concerns over Brexit with its ambassador warning Theresa May earlier this year that its firms could leave Britain if a chaotic exit makes it "unprofitable" for them to remain.

作为英国的主要投资者之一，日本曾公开表示过对英国脱欧的担忧。今年年初，其大使便曾向英国首相特雷莎·梅提出警告：如果退欧的混乱状况使得留在英国“无利可图”的话，日本公司可能会选择离开。

Car giants Nissan Honda Toyota and Mitsubishi are among more than 1000 Japanese firms operating in Britain employing 160000 workers in areas such as Sunderland.

有一千多家日本公司在英国营运，包括日产、本田、丰田及三菱这样的汽车业巨头。这些公司在桑德兰等地雇用了16万名员工。

In an interview with The Independent Mr Iida said Japanese businesses were "concerned" about Britain's plans to leave the bloc after setting up shop in Britain partly to secure access to the European single market.

伊达先生在接受《独立报》采访时表示，日本企业很“担心”英国的脱欧计划，因为日企在英国建厂的部分原因就是为了成功进入欧洲单一市场。

He said his country would prefer if the UK remained in the single market – something the prime minister has ruled out – and suggested that the Government's position could change as the EU are "tough negotiators".

他说，日本更希望看到英国继续留在这个单一市场——但这一可能已被梅首相排除——并暗示（英国）政府可能会改变立场以适应欧盟这个“强硬的谈判对手”。

Offering a boost to the prime minister Mr Iida said his government welcomed her "consistency" but warned that Japan would be watching closely as it has a "big stake in the Brexit process".

伊达先生说，他的政府对特雷莎·梅首相的“一致性”表示欢迎；但作为一种敦促，他警告说日本会密切关注事态发展，因其在“英国脱欧过程中有重大利益关切”。

Speaking at the Japanese embassy in London he said: "Frankly our first and foremost priority at the moment is the early effectuation of the Japan-EU economic partnership agreement.

在伦敦的日本大使馆，伊达慎一说：“诚然，此刻我们的第一要务是早日达成日-欧经济伙伴关系协议。

"Having said that though once the Japan-EU economic partnership agreement comes into force it could provide a very good and sound basis for the future trade between Japan and UK."

“话虽如此，但只要日-欧经济伙伴关系协议生效，它也可以为日本和英国之间未来的贸易往来提供一个非常良好的基础。”

Mr Iida indicated that informal trade discussions are underway between Japan and the UK at senior official level but no deal could be signed until Britain leaves the bloc.

伊达先生指出，日本和英国间非正式的贸易协商一直在高级官员层面进行，但在英国退出联盟前尚不能签署任何协议。

He said: "A lot of Japanese companies to be very frank are concerned with the prospect of the Brexit because it’s not a secret that a lot of Japanese manufacturing companies in particular have invested in the country for the market access to the continent of Europe.

他说：“很坦率地说，许多日本公司都很担心英国脱欧的前景，因为这些日本公司——尤其是制造业企业——投资英国的目的就是要进入欧洲大陆市场，这并非秘密。

"It’s a very important factor for them so market access after the trade agreement is made between the UK and the EU is a very important factor for a lot of Japanese businesses operating in this country."

”这对他们来说非常重要——所以英国与欧盟间（重新签订）贸易协议后的市场准入问题，对大量在英国经营的日本企业将是尤为关键的因素。“

Some Japanese financial institutions have applied to set up businesses in Europe after it emerged that the UK would lose "passporting rights" when it leaves the single market which allow banks to sell services across Europe without any barriers.

在英国退出（欧盟）单一市场将同时失去”护照通行权“这一情况出现后，有的日本金融机构就已开始申请在欧盟设立企业了。”护照通行权“允许银行在整个欧盟内部无障碍地销售其服务。

Mr Iida said: "Since it’s been made clear by both the UK Government and also the European unx that a single passport system would not be able to apply it is true that some Japanese financial institutions have submitted the application for businesses in continental Europe."

伊达先生说：”由于英国政府和欧盟都明确表示，单一护照系统将不再可供使用——确实已经有一些日本金融机构递交了在欧洲大陆设立企业的申请。“

He added: "But both with regard to Japanese manufacturing companies and also financial institutions as far as we know there is no Japanese company that has decided to move their headquarters outside of the UK.

他补充道：”但据我们所知，日本公司中不论是制造业企业还是金融机构，尚无任何一家已经决定将自己的总部迁出英国。

"They have been very cautious and we haven’t had any indication from any of them [that they will] make a hasty decision in that regard."

”他们表现得非常谨慎。我们尚未收到任何（他们将会）急于做出这方面决定的暗示。“

The rights of EU citizens remains a flash point for Japanese companies who employ large numbers of staff from continental Europe in their businesses here Mr Iida said.

伊达先生表示，由于在英国的日本公司从欧洲大陆大量雇用员工，欧盟公民（在英国）的权益问题始终是他们关注的焦点。

He said: "One of the major voices of concern if you will from the Japanese businesses is the legal status of the EU citizens.

他说：”你可以说，日本企业主要的忧虑就是欧盟公民（在英国）的法律地位问题。

"As I said Japanese companies overall have hired 160000 people in the UK but it’s not surprising that many of them are not British they are EU citizens therefore their legal status in the immediate future after Brexit was a major source of concern for a lot of Japanese companies." 

”如我所说，日本公司在英国总共雇用了16万人，无疑其中很多都不是英国人，他们是欧盟公民，因此在不久的将来——英国脱欧后，他们的法律地位问题将是许多日本公司主要的关切点。“

Japan would prefer the UK to remain in the single market and the customs unx but it has accepted the prime minister's assertion that both options are no longer part of Britain's long term future he said.

他还谈到，日本更期望英国能继续留在单一市场以及关税同盟内，但日本现已接受了特蕾莎·梅首相关于“这两个选项都不再存在于英国的长期前景之中”的主张。

"We originally wanted the UK to be part of the single market and also we indicated the possibility that UK might be able to stay in the customs unx but prime minister May was very clear that Brexit means the departure from the single market and also the departure from the customs unx" Mr Iida said.

伊达先生说：“我们最初希望英国能继续作为单一市场的一部分，我们还提到过英国继续留在关税同盟内的可能性。但特雷莎·梅首相十分明确地表示，英国脱欧就意味着同时退出单一市场以及关税同盟。

"She has been consistent in that regard in the Florence speech [given in September 2017] and she has been consistent in that regard in the Mansion House speech [given last month] and that type of consistency is very important."

“梅首相的这一主张，和她在佛罗伦萨演讲（发表于2017年9月）时是一致的，也和她在伦敦市长官邸（Mansion House）的演讲（发表于上个月）一致。这种一致性非常重要。”

Asked if Britain could change its mind on the single market he said: "Negotiation with the EU is extremely tough. We so well know how hard a negotiator the EU is."

当被问及英国是否可能改变关于单一市场的态度时，他说：“和欧盟的谈判会极其艰难。我们很清楚欧盟作为一个谈判对手有多强硬。”

"Any negotiation is an art of compromise so I wouldn't be surprised at all if the UK’s original position was a little different when they reach the final agreement with the EU.

“任何谈判都是妥协的艺术，所以如果英国与欧盟达成的最终协议与其原有立场有所不同，我并不会感到惊讶。

"The Japan-EU economic partnership agreement is very different from Japan’s original position that we held four and a half years ago."

”日本-欧盟经济伙伴关系协议就和日本在四年半以前的最初立场有很大不同。“

Ms May sought to woo Japanese firms through a high-profile visit to the country last year as well as chairing a roundtable meeting between top Japanese investors and some of her most senior ministers including Philip Hammond the chancellor business secretary Greg Clark and trade secretary Liam Fox in February.

梅女士去年曾试图通过高调访问日本来取悦日本公司。为此她还于二月份主持了一场圆桌会议，邀请了一些顶级日本投资人和她最高阶的政府官员，包括菲利普·哈蒙德（Philip Hammond，现任英国财政大臣）、大法官、商务大臣格雷格·克拉克（Greg Clark）以及国际贸易大臣利亚姆·福克斯（Liam Fox）。

While in Tokyo she received assurances from Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe that it hopes for a copycat trade deal once Britain leaves the bloc.

在东京时，她得到了日本首相安倍晋三（Shinzo Abe）关于日本希望在英国脱欧后立即签署一份维持不变的贸易协议的保证。

However the UK cannot begin signing trade deals until it has officially left the unx under EU rules.

根据欧盟的规定，英国在正式退出联盟前是无论如何不能着手签署任何贸易协议的。

Standards of living will drop??? Go to the North East (which by the way has been systematically destroyed by successive governments; miners steelworkers etc) and see the "standard of living". Nothing lower than what's already there.  You sit there behind your remoaner keyboards and mock them yet it is them that will sit and watch your standards of living drop. And whose fault is it really? Not BREXIT voters but the government that offered the referendum in the first place. Who are the "Tards" now? HAHA HEE HAHA HEEEE.....ahem.

生活水平会下降？？？去东北地区（一个被历届政府系统性破坏的地方：矿工，钢厂工人，等等）看看那的“生活水平”，不会比以前低啊！！你们这些留欧派（remoaner）只会坐在键盘后面嘲笑他们，然而今后会是他们坐看你们的生活水平不断下降。这一切究竟是谁的错？不是投票支持脱欧的人，而是一开始把公投摆上台面的政府。现在谁才是“傻子”？哈哈嘿哈哈嘿嘿……啊咳

'' Go to the North East (which by the way has been systematically destroyed by successive governments; miners steelworkers etc) and see the "standard of living".
Agreed but where you and Remainers differ is that you somehow blame Europe/forriners /immigrants
Otherwise why would you vote Brexit as a solution.

“去东北地区（一个被历届政府系统性破坏的地方：矿工，钢厂工人，等等）看看那的’生活水平‘”。
同意，但你和留欧派的区别在于，你多多少少（把上述问题）归罪于欧洲、外国人、移民。否则你为什么最后投票支持脱欧了呢。

Never mind Im sure the Brexit  flag bearers for the working class/poor and disabled Ian Duncan Smith Rees Mogg Redwood Farage Boris Fox and Gove etc  are just chomping at the bit to help with overturning all the things  the evil  Europeans forced them to do. Like austerity giving Nurses and other public sector workers 15% pay drops over the last 10 years while allowing tax dogers to get away with murder and while politicians and CEOs and bankers got huge pay rises. Damn those Europeans for trying to make us bring in the bedroom tax and the rape clause For forcing  terminally ill cancer patients  '' to undertake face-to-face visits with a work coach''.
Have they  no heart in Brussels  

算了，我确信脱欧旗手们——诸如Ian Duncan Smith，Rees Mogg，Redwood，Farage，Boris Fox还有Gove等等这些代表工薪阶层、穷人、残疾人的人，都正迫不及待要帮着推翻邪恶的欧洲人强加给他们（英国底层百姓）的一切，例如财政紧缩——过去10年它使得护士等公共部门工作人员降薪15%，与此同时却允许逃税者逍遥法外，允许政客、CEO、银行家们巨额加薪。去他丫的欧洲人，还想要征我们“卧室税”、给我们立“强奸条款”、强迫癌症末期病人“与工作教练进行面对面访谈”。
布鲁塞尔的那些家伙是没心没肺么？
（注：“卧室税”是英国政府对低收入家庭的空置卧室征税的政策；“强奸条款”是“儿童税收抵免”法案的补充条款——第三个以上的孩子，必须是“非自愿怀孕”等其它一些特殊情况，才可以申请抵免）

I hear the argument regarding trading countries having trade surpluses with the UK but the bit that worries me (a lot) is that as a country the UK actually needs the vast majority of the stuff it buys from abroad and those countries providing these goods will be well aware of that fact. So in then negotiating FTAs it becomes a game of poker ie is my hand stronger than yours or to put it another way do you need me more than I need you.
This then becomes the gaming table in trying to agree free trade deals. Such deals have to be two way. My big worry is that the UK will need a deal more than the partner particularly the big player partners India China and the USA for example. Remember you agree a deal so you get some sort of free access to markets but you also give free access to your own market which inevitably gives your own businesses more competition and probably more aggressive competition at that. No doubt envious foreign eyes are priceing up the NHS already. I know I'm a bit of a cynic but I also worry that such deals will be made by UK negotiators who may then find attractive opportunities as board members in the future. The EU was pretty much the safe and natural body to set such deals as deals had to be ratified by each member a form noted and therefore being copied by other countries forming geographical trading areas this to my mind also makes the UK trading hand even weaker.

我听到了关于各大贸易国一直在对英国赚取贸易顺差这个观点，但让我（特别）担心的一点是：英国作为一个国家实际上必须从外国购买绝大多数东西，而提供这些商品的国家很清楚这一点。于是谈判自由贸易协定（FTA=Free Trade Agreement）就成了玩纸牌游戏——即看谁膀子更粗，或者说，看谁更离不开谁。于是谈判自贸协议变成了上赌桌。这种协议本该是双向的。我最大的担心是，比起谈判对手——尤其像印度、中国或是美国这样的大玩家——英国会是更需要协议的一方。
记住，当你签署一份协议时你获得了某种自由进入对方市场的权力，但同时你也交出了本国市场的自由准入权，这无可避免地增加了本国企业的竞争而且可能是更具侵略性的竞争。毫无疑问，已经有国外贪婪的眼睛盯上给英国国民健康保险制度（NHS=National Health Service）涨价了。
我知道我有点疑心太重，但有那么些英国谈判代表一心只想要获得未来进入（大企业）董事会的机会，我也很担心协议会由这类人来谈。
欧盟本是设立此类协议的一个相对安全、自然的主体，因为必须经每个成员国批准——而这种模式已被其它国家注意并模仿，来组建自己的地区贸易组织——在我看来这又使得英国在（和这些组织的）贸易中更趋弱势。

Oh yeah....we were soSO good at manufacturing even BEFORE we joined the EU......which is why we made cars tv's motor cycles aerplanes etc etc etc that the world stopped buying .....because we underinvested constantly for generations

好耶……我们早在加入欧盟前，制造业就相当，相当的牛了！——所以我们才能制造全世界都不再购买的汽车、电视、摩托、飞机等等等……因为我们已经持续很多代地投资不足。

.......but hey......pray tell us why with near half a century of failure in these and other emerging industries...pray tell us WHY we'll be so good at it THIS time.....and...even MORE to the point.....WHERE WILL THE TENS OF BILLIONS ( maybe hundreds) OF POUNDS COME FROM......to build these as yet unbuilt factories to make those as yet imaginary goods to sell into as yet imaginary markets to imaginary customers on as yet unknown terms............and do we further suppose that the countries currently supplying all these goods in markets today are simply going to stand aside and watch these new- ultra- super- efficient- brits steal the crust from their table and fracture customer/ supplier relations that will often go back manymany years?

……可是啊……请告诉我们，为什么近半个世纪里我们在上述产业以及其它新兴产业都失败了……请告诉我们，为什么这！次！我们就能牛起来……而且……更重！要！的是……成！百！上！千！亿！（可能万亿）资！金！从！哪！来！……要建这些还没建的工厂，生产那些想象中的商品，然后靠着还是个未知数的贸易条款，出售给那些想象中的市场、想象中的消费者……而且我们是不是还要进一步假设，现今在这些市场提供这些商品的国家，就只会站在一边看着这个新来的-超级-极致-高效的英国佬从他们的餐桌上偷走面包皮，斩断他们和客户间通常已经保持了很多很多年的供需关系？

Has any of these nutters out there ever TRIED to sell products to a new customer without a strong reaction...( often but not always price of course) ...from the 'sitting tenant' on such trade?

我很好奇，这个“无名之辈”和（日本）首相有什么相干？

They let anybody in these days......

如今还真是什么人都能进来……

I have no doubt we will get a trade agreement with Japan absolutely 100% garanteed

我不怀疑我们能和日本达成一份贸易协议，可以100%担保。

However it is also garanteed that we will not get as good of a deal as we had before and if we leave the single market we will lose up to  half million Japanese related jobs

然而同样可以担保的是，我们得不到一份和原先一样好的协议。而且一旦我们脱离单一市场，我们将失去多达50万个和日本相关的工作岗位。

Thanks mate

谢了，伙计。
