（布鲁塞尔）5月5日，2005
　　欧盟贸易代表彼得.曼得森强调他不会在中国纺织品和服装进口实行相关的保护性限制措施上仓促行事。
　　曼得森与中国的商务部长薄熙来成功地举行了会谈，他许诺欧盟不会与中国卷入一场贸易战，但是他没有暗示这个问题已经接近解决了。
　　彼得森说在做出任何决定的时候，他都会考虑到相关的现实和结果。
　　许多的欧盟国家都在督促欧盟的执行机构、欧盟委员会采取步骤以阻止2005年初以来全球贸易配额废除之后中国进口的进一步急速上升。
　　欧盟委员会上周启动了针对中国进口激增的调查，这可能导致正式的讨论要求中国限制其出口。
但是薄说保护性配额是歧视性的和不合理的。
　　他认为欧盟和同样对中国进口上升采取措施的美国都没有足够的证据来证明其市场的崩溃。

 EU Won t Be Hasty On Chinese Textiles Decision

　　EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson has emphasised that he won’t rush into a decision over safeguard limits for exports of Chinese textiles and clothing.
Mandelson followed up a meeting with Chinese Commerce Minister Bo Xilai by vowing that the EU would not become embroiled in a trade war with the nation, but gave no indication that the issue is near to being resolved.
　　He said that he would stick to both the facts of the situation and the rules that governed it when making any decisions.
　　A　number of EU nations are urging executive body of the EU, the EC, to take steps to prevent further surges of Chinese exports after global trade quotas expired at the start of 2005.
　　The EC last week kickstarted a probe into the exports increase, which could lead to formal discussions with China to ask it restrict its exports.
　　But Bo says that safeguard quotas are discriminatory and not justified.
　　He  argues that neither the EU nor the US, which is also taking action against the rise in exports, have sufficient evidence of market disruption.
