关务情报科据澳大利亚外交部消息:当地时间2022年3月31日,澳大利亚政府称正在采取进一步行动,增加俄罗斯在白俄罗斯支持下非法入侵乌克兰后的经济成本,对来自俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的所有进口产品征收35%的额外关税。[注:文末附原文]
以下为关务情报科粗略翻译供参考,发言人为澳大利亚外交部长玛丽斯•佩恩:
2022年4月1日,澳大利亚将发布正式通知,撤销最惠国关税待遇,并对所有来自俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的进口产品征收35%的额外关税。这将从2022年4月25日起生效,并将在目前适用的一般税率之外生效。 这一行动是在澳大利亚与世界贸易组织其他志同道合的成员发表联合声明之后,强烈谴责俄罗斯的行动,并承诺作为世贸组织成员采取我们认为必要的一切行动,以保护我们的基本安全利益。[注:此前美国宣布取消对俄罗斯最惠国待遇] 澳大利亚声援乌克兰反对俄罗斯的侵略,莫里森政府正在提供9100万美元的军事援助。 为了支持乌克兰人民,我们正在提供6500万美元的人道主义援助,7万吨动力煤以支持乌克兰的能源安全,以及临时保护签证和向澳大利亚的乌克兰社区团体提供援助。
我们继续与合作伙伴合作,通过对个人和实体的定向制裁,禁止来自俄罗斯的能源、石油和天然气产品,以及禁止向俄罗斯出口氧化铝和铝矿石(包括铝土矿),对俄罗斯施加最大代价。 这包括到目前为止列出500多个个人和实体。我们对俄罗斯的制裁是澳大利亚有史以来对任何一个国家实施的最大制裁。 对石油和其他能源产品的进口禁令也将于4月25日开始实施。
我们强烈支持我们的国际伙伴采取类似的行动,在符合其国家程序的情况下撤销与俄罗斯和白俄罗斯的最惠国贸易安排。 我们将继续与我们的合作伙伴紧密合作,确保俄罗斯对其行动负责。 澳大利亚支持乌克兰的主权和领土完整,并继续呼吁俄罗斯停止其对乌克兰的无端、不公正和非法入侵。
Australia to impose tariff increases on all imports from RussiaThe Australian Government is taking further action to increase the economic costs to Russia following its illegal invasion of Ukraine, supported by Belarus, by applying an additional tariff of 35 per cent for all imports from Russia and Belarus. On 1 April 2022, Australia will issue a formal notification withdrawing entitlement to the Most-Favoured-Nation (MFN) tariff treatment and applying an additional tariff of 35 per cent to all imports from Russia and Belarus. This will take effect from 25 April 2022 and will be in addition to general duty rates that currently apply. This action follows Australia’s joint statement, with other like-minded members of the World Trade Organization, strongly condemning Russia’s actions and committing to take all actions we consider necessary, as WTO members, to protect our essential security interests. Australia stands in solidarity with Ukraine against Russia’s aggression and the Morrison Government is providing $91 million in military assistance. To support the people of Ukraine, we are providing $65 million in humanitarian assistance, 70,000 tonnes of thermal coal to support Ukraine’s energy security, as well as temporary protection visas and assistance to Ukrainian community groups in Australia. We continue to work with partners to impose the maximum costs on Russia, through targeted sanctions on individuals and entities, the prohibition of energy, oil and gas products from Russia, and a ban on exports of alumina and aluminium ores (including bauxite) to Russia. This includes listing more than 500 individuals and entities to date. Our sanctions on Russia make up the largest ever imposition of sanctions by Australia against any single country. A prohibition on imports of oil and other energy products will also commence on 25 April. We strongly support similar action by our international partners to revoke MFN trading arrangements with Russia and Belarus, consistent with their national processes. We will continue to work closely with our partners to ensure Russia is held to account for its actions. Australia supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and continues to call on Russia to cease its unprovoked, unjust and illegal invasion of Ukraine.
