菲律宾贸易工业部希望解除水泥保护关税
三年前,菲律宾当地水泥公司受进口价格低廉的影响,财政困难。因此,为保护当地水泥工业和工人,政府对进口水泥征收了进口保护关税。自那之后,菲律宾水泥价格上涨到98比索每袋(40公斤),3月份在一些地区已涨到170比索。他认为当地水泥公司已经具有和外来水泥竞争的势力。
Roxas是在菲律宾贸易工业声明该部门正逐步监空水泥价格之后重提该建议的。
贸易工业部宣布对每袋(40公斤)进口水泥征收20.6比索的保护关税,为期三年即从(2001年12月10日至2004年12月10日)。由于水泥价格回升,当地的水泥公司已有了一定的利润空间,2004年2月16日,政府将关税减少到15.60比索。
菲律宾水泥协会希望保护性关税能延续。3月底,关税部门将水泥协会的要求上报给了贸易秘书长Juan Santos。
贸易工业部说目前菲律宾各地都密切关注着水泥价格,希望能够采取一些必要的措施防止水泥价格非正常上涨。
当地的水泥生产商也抱怨,燃料和能源成本的增加使水泥价格上涨。

Solon calls for lifting of duty on cement
Sen. Manuel Roxas II has renewed his call for the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) to consider the possible removal of the definitive safeguard duty on cement.
“It could be the time has come for the safeguard measure to be eliminated,” Roxas said, chairman of the Senate committee on trade and commerce.
“Three years ago, the local cement industry complained of financial difficulties when retail prices came under intense downward pressure from cheap imports. In response, we ordered a safeguard measure — an additional tariff to protect local cement producers and their workers,” Roxas added.
“Since then, cement prices have steadily increased from a low of P98 per 40-kilogram bag to as high as P170 this month in some areas. Evidently, local cement manufacturers are ready to face reasonable foreign competition,” he said.
The senator's remarks came shortly after the DTI said it has stepped up monitoring of retail sales of cement in view of the sustained upward pressure on prices.
The DTI said cement prices have hit P165 per 40-kilogram bag, or 9.3 percent higher than the 90-day average price.
The DTI, on June 25, 2003, ordered the imposition of a P20.60 per bag safeguard duty on cement for three years, that is, from Dec. 10, 2001 (the date on which the provisional duty first took effect) to Dec. 10, 2004.
Sensing that local cement producers had regained some pricing power and improved margins, the DTI, on Feb. 16, 2004, reduced the safeguard duty to P15.60 per bag on its third year in force.
The Cement Manufacturers' Association of the Philippines (CEMAP) has sought an extension of the safeguard measure.
The Tariff Commission is expected to submit its report on CEMAP's request to Trade Secretary Juan Santos before the end of the month.
The DTI said all its regional and provincial offices are monitoring closely the uptrend in cement prices to be able to take the necessary steps to halt any further unusual increases.
Local cement producers have blamed the surge in cement prices on soaring fuel and energy costs.
