Markus Buchheit (AfD), ESN-ledamot i Europaparlamentet, s\u00e4ger:<\/p>\n
\u201cDet s\u00e5 kallade Turnberry-avtalet var redan fr\u00e5n b\u00f6rjan ett obalanserat avtal p\u00e5 Europas bekostnad. Medan EU var berett att avskaffa alla tullar p\u00e5 amerikanska industrivaror belastas nu den europeiska exporten med schablontullar. Det \u00e4r ocks\u00e5 s\u00e4rskilt problematiskt att handelstullar i allt h\u00f6gre grad anv\u00e4nds som ett politiskt p\u00e5tryckningsmedel.<\/p>\n
De som drabbas h\u00e5rdast \u00e4r v\u00e5ra sm\u00e5 och medelstora f\u00f6retag samt medborgarna. H\u00f6gre tullar inneb\u00e4r stigande priser, st\u00f6rningar i leveranskedjorna och risker f\u00f6r arbetstillf\u00e4llen. D\u00e4rf\u00f6r kr\u00e4ver vi att EU:s \u00e5taganden enligt Turnberry-avtalet ska upph\u00e4vas s\u00e5 l\u00e4nge USA inte fullg\u00f6r sina \u00e5taganden. Frihandel \u00e4r viktigt, men inte till priset av v\u00e5r ekonomiska sj\u00e4lvbest\u00e4mmander\u00e4tt och suver\u00e4nitet.<\/p>\n
AfD ser ocks\u00e5 s\u00e4rskilt kritiskt p\u00e5 utvidgningen av 50-procentstullarna p\u00e5 st\u00e5l och aluminium till ett stort antal derivatprodukter, vilket drabbar europeiska f\u00f6retag h\u00e5rt. Samtidigt ingicks Turnberry-avtalet utan tillr\u00e4cklig parlamentarisk kontroll, vilket \u00e4r ytterligare ett exempel p\u00e5 de demokratiska bristerna i EU:s handelspolitik.\u201d<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
